2002 LS1 Corvette convertible
I just got this car and love it but have a couple questions being new to corvettes. The factory CD player in trunk when I slide the lid open think it is suppose to automatically eject, you can here it trying but can't get it out. Also when driving and slowly apply brake driver seat moves forward probably a 1/2 inch. Is this normal. Thanks for your help.

On the CD player you probably have a CD stuck in there. Take it out and remove the case and you will see a small white plastic lever, move the lever and the cassette should pop out. Make sure the CDs are turned in the holder the correct way when you load it. On the seat mines does the same thing, I believe there is a kit you can buy to fix that. good luck

I got tired of pulling my trunk mounted CD player out to dig out CDs and just replaced it with a blue-tooth receiver.
The seat issue is resolved with a shim kit. Need to remove seats and disassemble mechanism. Not a hard job but you do have to pay close attention, otherwise seats won't work right. Lots of videos out there for this fix.
