Default Missing parts

I’ve been trying to find out the part number for the black cap which sits on top of my rear strut. I don’t have them in my car. Maybe missing or I knocked em off while leaning over the engine. No idea and no one knows what they are called or their part number. Standard suspension
Thanks

I have received good information but I still believe the info could be incorrect.
[/QUOTE]
Thank you for the information MM reports that the correct part is not yet available so I looked up 84640374 it states for standard suspension and with ground clearance control. Does ground clearance control mean the front lift kit. Another site reports that it is for a front strut. So I’m looking for rear top caps left and right for standard suspension only unless all corvettes have the ground clearance control. Can anyone confirm what I need.

MM FOUND THE CORRECT CAPS AT LEAST WE THINK!

There are no covers supplied with the car for that location. Nothing is missing. There are aftermarket covers (carbon fiber, car color, etc) that you can buy.

Sorry - thought you were asking about the shock tower cover for the whole area, not the rubber bolt cover/bumper.

I’m pretty sure these are them. I was told they can come off if they stick to the hood. I’m not home right now but I think I put some adhesive under mine so they wouldn’t pop off.

If you go to the parts department and tell them what kind of car you have and what the part is, they will look it up for you and get it.

It’s a rubber cap that goes over a nut and bolt. Don’t see why it wouldn’t fit. For $2.33 take a gamble.

PLUS $11.00 shipping, so not exactly $2.33
