FWIW - Every C6 owner should take the 5 minutes required and replace their plastic tee now. I gave my extra 4 to other C6 owners I encountered.
I bought these barbs to replace mine. I did not think the fit was tight enough and just reinstalled the original. Just felt like it would pull out of the hose using the original clamps .

Some may still have them listed but they have been discontinued and are no longer available same as countless parts that have been discontinued

I bought both drivers and passengers seat bottom leather. Once part is not avabile no way to ever get a match.

FWIW, upholstery is going to be the last part of the C6 to fail

Permanently.

I would consider upholstery the very first thing that shows wear on any car. For $200 a side factory OEM leather cheap insurance.
