I'm attempting to install a Colgan Bra on my C5 Corvette. I ran into a problem. For some reason, the last brase between the fender and wheel well liner is a metal hook, not a piece of fabric. The other parts were made of fabric, and I slipped them between the wheel well liner and fender to lock the bra in place. There is no way this last mental hook will stay in place. Does anybody have any experience placing a Colgan Bra on a C5 Corvette? See photos: Thanks!

I always used the GM bra on my C5s and the tabs were just bent to attach to the car. Can you not bend that one tab to fit tight against the car or is there just not a good place to secure it?
It is a terrible place to secure it. It slips right off. The hook appears to be made of steel and is hard to bend. But I'm considering attaching a rench to it and forcing a bend. Do you have a link to a good GM Bra in case I destroy this one?
