Default Nylon Bra Installation

I have a 2008 C6 that I wanted to install a nylon bra that was just purchased. When I installed the U-clip in the top hole of the fender, the liner did not totally cover the clip. Seems like the contour of the liner at that point in relation to the clip causes this problem. All 8 clips are the same size. Has anyone else had this problem? I did not go any further with the installation. Also, I wish the snaps were black versus chrome. At this point I think I may return the product.

Are you talking about the C5 Creations nylon bra?
IF so, yeah, the top clip sticks out a little bit, but it's not really noticeable. I was able to angle mine so only a little bit of one corner sticks out.
As for the snaps, I wish they were black too, but taking a black permanent Sharpie to them took care of that.
Unfortunately, I don't think you'll find another bra that goes on and off as easily as the C5 Creations bra. It's great for when you're taking your car to a show - 1 minute and the bra is off and the front of the car is totally clean - no bugs, etc. to clean off.
