Installation of Your C8 Corvette Strut Tower Covers

Customers with front lift adjustable height option (Option code E60): Chevrolet recently issued a technical service bulletin regarding the reservoir cap leaking. The DOT 4 brake fluid used in the front lift system can have a negative reaction with the chemicals that are in the ABS plastic. It has been described to cause "catalytic embrittlement in the ABS, making it very brittle and weak". While ABS plastic is normally very durable, this chemical reaction with the brake fluid can cause the cover to break.

Please ensure that your reservoir cap is not leaking fluid prior to installation of the passenger side strut tower cover.
