Default gas pedal popping off

Anyone else have trouble with your gas pedal popping off the studs that hold it to the floor? and what is the cure? Repop pedal or?

Corvette Central offers the pedal and the studs. I've seen the studs not fit very well because the mounting holes became enlarged. CC also offers a backing plate that addresses that issue.

Yes they do that. If it doesn't pop onto the ball studs, you might need a new pedal. Carpet can also affect the fit (especially new carpet) and might need some massaging. But, the pedal should snap/pop unto the studs decidedly.
