C6 question

[Mark P.]

I have a 2008 Z06 and I have noticed that small rocks are getting in the space where the rear fender touches the rocker moulding. My guess is they may be getting in from the rear tires and slipping by the fender liner.

Has anyone noticed this problem ? Any tricks to stop this from happening ?

yes it happens to all C-6s and some owners have loosened the panel and installed some thin foam rubber and some have put in clear silicone seal

Mark,

I have noticed this on my C6 also. I have read that some have had success by placing some foam insulation strips in the gap between the wheel well and the quarter panel. I have felt in there on mine and noticed a gap. You need to loosen the screws holding the quarter panel to gain access. I plan on trying this approach once the weather gets better and I get the time.............

These guys gave given you good advise. Yes, it does happen to every one. For sure, a design flaw here. Drives me crazy to see a nice car full of stones !!
