Step 1. Park Corvette on a level surface and set parking brake.
Step 2. Turn wheels to gain access to inner fender.
Step 3. Remove screws from the sides of the inner
fender liner. Remove the 7mm screws to gain access to the inner side vent area.
Step 4. Pull liner out of the way to access side cove.
Step 5. Use regular household rubbing alcohol and wipe down edges to provide
clean surface for new tape.
Step 6. Align new screen in cove area as desired.
Step 7. Remove new double-stick tape back¬ing and press down to secure
screen in place. Adjust as desired.
Step 8. Reinstall inner fender trim.
Step 9. Move to the other side and repeat above operations.

You don't have to remove the wheels. Just turn them. If you want more room to work you can remove the wheel. I have installed many side vents on c5 and c6 and never removed a wheel. I can tell you the c5 vent is not as bad as the c6. The c5 vent is closer to the wheel well than the c6. So you don't have to reach in as far. Thanks Marc

After installed you can put clear silicone over the tape areas, but they do stay on very well with the tape only.
