It's a 2015 Artic White Z51 with LT4 Supercharger! Heavy on the mods, love working on the car! Changed out door panels and interior trim for red, red seats now and XIK rear monster wing. I know "keep it original " folks going nuts.

 

Is that a Corvette? Oh now I see the signs......

 

I have a 2017 Grand Sport, 3LT convertible that has the leather lifting and buckling at the air vent and HUD. The car was purchased new in 2018 and is garage kept with 13,500 miles. This is a manufacturing defect since GM changed the fastening method on the C8 models to include stapling the material around the entire perimeter in addition to the adhesive only used on the C7 models. Took the car to the dealer and after a 1 minute evaluation consisting of looking through the windshield, determined it was due to the "chemical" cleaner(s) used on the dashboard that caused the leather to separate; I used nothing but a damp cloth on the dashboard. The cost to fix the manufacturing defect is $4000+, which GM is claiming no culpability. I am making it my mission to share this experience with every forum available to get GM to own up to their responsibility to correct their mistake. I have owned (4) corvettes as well as many other GM vehicles and will never buy another GM product again unless they make this right. I own a BMW M440i and will trade in this car for an M4 if there is no resolution.

 

I have a 2018 doing the same thing. Extremely discouraging and my first/ last Corvette.

 

Welcome to our forum reallc61, Sorry to read of your dash issues. I suggest that even though it is out of warranty you calmly discuss this with your GM Regional contact (see your owners manual).

 

Starting to hear more and more of folks with these dash issues. Lucking out so far into my 10th year and 35k+ miles (almost all miles top down). Since it is garaged when not being driven, maybe this is why I'm having good luck? Man, cracking and sun damaged dashboards have been a never ending issue with the car industry that 100 years of evolution seems to be powerless to fix. Well, metal dashboards seem to have worked back in the day!

 

I have a 2019 GS 3LT, that needs a second dash replacement. After about 18 months since it was replaced, it's curling up again. The car is not ever garaged.

 

My 3 lt has never done it yet.

 

My 2016 3LT has the same dash problem. Corvette customer service was nit that helpful but the dealer interceded and GM will pay half of the $3,000 cost. I waited 4 months for the new dash to come but it was defected so now I will probably have to wait another 4 months.

 

Nothing wrong with my 2015 3LT dash. I will keep a dash cover on it.

 

I have had 2 3lt's luckily they never delaminated. For my c8 I went with the 2lt as not to risk it. My 2019 RAM Limited is delaminating.

 

2015 3LT just starting to delaminate around the defroster vent

 

My 2016 3LT z51 is doing the same thing. Really souring the Corvette experience. Bought the car used with 5032 miles on it. So I’m guessing I’m on the hook for the entire expense. Maybe there should be a class action suit for this, since they’ve know about the issue and did nothing to fix it.?

 

Just slap a dash cover over it.

 

I thought about doing that or spraying with plasti dip….

 

Seems to be the consensus that a 3LT interior is really not worth the extra cost.

 

When I ordered my Z06 in 2016 that is exactly what I concluded. 2LZ had plenty. Saved some money and I am happy with it, 27,000 miles later. --Bob

 

I am in same situation...found guy that will redo leather (about 4-5 pieces) $1700.00! New dash from Chevrolet $1600.00 + labor. Either way sucks especially when car is well taken care of!!!! It could be glued but looks like leather shrunk...wtf!!!???
