Side screen vents from Vetteshop
I bought the Vetteshop 6-piece mesh package. I'm having a bit of trouble installing the side vend screens. The instructions say they are labeled Right and Left. However, both parts are labeled "SIDE" and nothing else. I got an e-mail into Vetteshop, but wanted to see if anyone on the list could offer some advice or had similar experience with these vents. Anyone?

i remember that mine were not labeled either.... i remember that i had to take the wheel well liner out... if you do that you can dry fit it... those were the hardest to install for me, because they didnt wanna stick at first... they been on for 6 months now without a problem

Got an e-mail from Vetteshop this morning. There really is no right or left. Just flip it around and they'll work on either side. I didn't need to take the wheel well out but I did need to remove all the screws and hold it out of the way. The inside fill certainly needs removed but that's only two screws. The screens fit great and look cool. And the quality is very good too. I'll be ordering the Z06 front screens soon. Has anyone installed the Z06 factory front screens? How do they fit?

The key to this install is...
...clean the attachment points, and get rid of the tape the screens came with.
I used denatured alcohol to clean the screens and attachment points on the car. Then I placed 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape on the screens. Be careful because this tape is unforgiving.
I live on Guam, the land of 90% humidity and mucho rain. Yes, I drive my car in the rain. The screens have not come off the car since I installed them over a year ago.
