Default Rear hatch

I have been locked out the rear hatch on my 2008 Corvette three times since March 2009. I could not open it from the key FOB or the inside push button. The local Dealership said nothing is wrong. This afternoon I spoke to Michael Brandt from GM at 866-790-5700
extension 22943. He said he may call me back @ 4:30 EST. I hope this can be resolved.

You should post these in the general section for better feedback from forum members.

Thanks for the heads up, the link where the manual was must have changed. I found a new one.

I think we need to upload a lot of these write-ups that have external links to some kind of official CF server because I hate going into old threads and finding DEAD LINKS!!!!

There are lots of deals out there, some here on the forum in the for sale section. Also, check with forum dealers, they may have new '08 or '09 models that might work for you budget. This will also give you a good idea of pricing in the market and let you know what to watch for. Good hunting.

Are there no picture tutorials on replacing the fuel filter? How many miles should this be done at on C6's?

The fuel filter on the C5 was external and more accessible, but the fuel filter on the C6 is located inside the left gas tank and is not a normal maintenance item. It's not even mentioned in the owner's manual.

Here's a couple of threads on this topic.

Of course all depending upon the size of the puncture, If it is in the tread, generally yes. If it is in the sidewall, generally no. You would need to get the tire to a Goodyear location and have them take a look at the puncture and based on size and location they will let you know if it can be repaired.
