I've spoken with Southern Car Parts a number of times regarding this and have been told that it is in fact coming. Based on my last conversation with them about a month ago, I'd speculate we should be seeing it in about a month or so.

that's good news...I don't need it in the dead of winter, but anytime during this year's driving season is good enough for me; and for others I'm sure. Even if the price rises I'll bite.

man I hope so, but for the life of me I can't figure out how or why GM did not include this feature as standard equipment.

Thank goodness for youtube. Had no idea what it was. Looks simple to install and pretty cool, not sure how/when I would use it though.

Vent the car when approaching and in tight parking spots, it's easier to get in/out if the window is down.

they started out around $100 years ago, but have risen in price ever since. On sale...about $125 right now...I expect aside from the so-called 'Corvette Tax', there is now the 'C7 Tax' looming!

Like everything Corvette if you wait you can buy for pennies on the dollar, I bought a used one for my C5 and used it on my 99 and 03 for $90 and then I paid $75 for a used one for my 06 and moved it to my 07.

But this time I will buy as soon as one is released regardless of cost. Hopefully one of our vendors will see this and chime in with some info.

I sent an email to the manufacturer today. I will report back when I hear something. Hopefully I will have an update tomorrow.
