See no reason why it shouldn't.

Should be fine -- unless the battery was already weak when you disconnected it.

Anyway, you'll probably have to re-initialize window indexing. Very easy. See pg 2-23 in the '14 Owner's Manual: http://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam...14corvette.pdf

And if you don't know how to manually open the trunk/hatch...

When you connect the battery wait a few minutes for the systems to power up or when you hit the start button the engine will not turn over (acts like the battery is dead), a few minutes later the engine cranks and starts right up.

No electric available down in FL? If not, I would probably do what you did. If you have power, I'd just spend $35.00 for a battery tender. Plug it in the socket in the right rear, under the hatch and have no worries.
