Another GM Bra Question
Where exactly do the 2 side tabs with the snaps fit into the fenders?
I push them straight is and snap them tight but after some driving they come loose.
Anyone figure out how these work ?

My GM Nose mask (Bra) fits just fine at the fenders. Did you install it yourself?
Oh and by the way - this mask has been discontinued by GM - as far as I am concerned it is the one and only best fitting mask on the market. No velcro to try and make work - The bend tabs and button snaps that are used are at the exact locations they should be. You can tell someone actually spent some time on figuring out exactly how to make this thing stay on.
I have to replace my Mask - due to damage in an accident (I get a new mask and the corvette gets a new face)
Any way I looked at the "Speed bra" for $550.00 or so and I can't see where the quality or money is and the Wolf and CoverCraft use velcro and tabs.
After concidering that the button snaps are already installed on my car - I went with the orginal GM bra for $99.00 - Called the dealership because I didn't see it listed by any of the sponsors (Mid America, Corvette Central, Eckler's etc).
I was informed that it has been discontinued but might already be in stock at a dealership. With a little searching one was found!
So if you were thinking about an original GM Nose Mask - you better start your hunt for it now and good luck.

You will want to unsnap the tabs and put the ends right up in the crease of the wheelwell above the other snaps that you install. After all other other parts of the bra are in place,and snapped, then just close the tabs by resnapping. This should provide a very tight fit. Hope this makes sense.

Once you get the snaps in place on the lower part of the wheel well, just move the upper tab up and you will see where it attaches to the wheel well. It slides between the fender lip and the fender liner.

Yep. It took me a while to figure that one out also.
One of mine came lose about a year ago, rubbed against the wheel for a few miles and I lost most of the tab. I just tape it now to the inside of the wheel well with some invisible tape.
...Still holding.
