Front Strut Covers
I saw a videos of early C8's collecting water in the front struts. I see front Strut covers for the stingrays, but none for the Z. Anyone know where to get those cheap covers to keep water out? Not sure if the problem exist on Z's or not. But easy fix to put a $20 cover on them.

I bought some off Amazon - they fit and work well. Cheap insurance for not having a problems with rusted bolts down the road. I also applied light coat of Mobile One grease to help repel water before putting on the covers.

Do you have link to covers you bought. I'm looking for them. I dont want rusted bolts 5 years from now when I could have paid 20 bucks to prevent it.

The cover over the whole thing isn't sealed and it can come in around next to the washer fluid tank. My 2020 had drain holes in the cowl directly above the passenger side. You can see them still on the cowl below the wiper blade, but aren't open in the molding any more. My 2020 had a lot of water in both sides, my 2024 Z06 were dry on both sides. The water comes in mainly from the extreme water testing they do at the factory. I had covers on my 2020 (after I sealed the drain holes) and I haven't covered the ones on my Z06 and they are always dry when I have checked. I won't be putting them on my car.
