It is a bit silly to be honest. It is obviously not melted and a plastic part like every other cup holder, that I have seen lol. Yea, a front shade cover and a 70% front tint will help significantly.
I always have a hard time understanding why they ruined so many generations of Corvette by shitty interiors. It's not just it being cheaply made. They've ignored functionality and style blatantly too. And now with the C8 the interior is finally decent after many missed generations - but they then make the car look like a rat's ass from the outside. I just don't get it.
A lot of steering wheels in cheap cars/boats do this to, best way to prevent this from happening any more on your cup holder cover is to tape a stwrring wheel cover to it👍👍👍
Even dumber… literally NOTHING fits in those “cup holders”. You can leave that little cover open, but you’re still not going to hold an insulated cup in there!
Have to disagree, have had mine for 2 years and just about any cup fits even big ass ones lol but i will say you cannot fit 2 at the same time only 2 water bottles and thats the best its gonna get😂
Its supposed to be a "soft touch" plastic coating like that. Im having the same issue and its because the oil and stuff made to use that coating and plastic is turning back to oil abd getting grimey.. just replaced it for 70 bucks brand new.
Just got my c6 a week ago and was wondering wtf happened to hide away door? It’s only the pull tab and now seeing this and it being a texas car,everything make sense now 😂.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I agree they shouldn't. I have a C6 also, and there are design & manufacturing decisions made in the production of the car that are confounding. The cup holder cover could count as one of them, but were I to make a list, it would be long. The fact that right rotors are identical to left rotors, making the rotor cooling air flow not work properly on the right, is something that's bothered me for a while and I'm working on the remedy to that right now (well, after I post this comment), All that said, you didn't answer my question: is this car that experienced this in Texas? I ask, not because I'm anti-Texas, but that, from my experience, there's something weird about the Texas sun. I don't know what it is, but I've had stuff melt in rental cars I've had while there that I don't think would have melted in other places with the same heat level. I live in California. In the summertime we'll often get >100' days, & we don't have stuff melting in our cars. While in Texas, I had plastic cups melt into a pool of liquid in 95', and in Georgia 85' seems like visiting a blast oven in hell. Good luck with the issue. It's a shame, and wrong, that it is happening to you. Keep the rubber side down. (Was this in Texas?)
No sir-it was sunshine. I have a 10 minute drive to work. Car wasn’t even warm when I parked. Came out to blazing Sun at lunch time-and this. I’ve driven in bumper to bumper traffic for hours on 85 degree days and this did not happen. Only when parked in the Sun.
@@SpeedCultureStudiosi just look at it as, it’s just a cup holder. Chevy isn’t known for their interior so I wouldn’t expect much anyways. It’s not that deep
It’s kept in the garage. Don’t have a garage at the office unfortunately. Little common sense might have saved you 30 seconds in not having to type your comment.
DUDE my stock shift knob has a hole in it and during the warmer season it will ooze this thick sticky ass grease everytime I shift, i got a new one otw but its so annoying
@@zackdillon8670 negative. Cup holders are ugly by nature. A gaping hole in the console. Shouldn’t even be there but since it is, should definitely be closed
@@macdonald2k I think the decision was more of a "we wanna put our best wheel in this SS" and less of "we need a cheap performance wheel for this Corvette"
The whole C6 line was great in performance but horrible in build quality, this is the same generation of the corvette where you can literally push the back bumper and it bounces back like it’s a plastic bottle
@SpeedCultureStudios well, I salute you, I could not work in an office environment. My work requires use of a work truck which is provided by my employer. I'd be a nervous wreck knowing that my shit is just sitting in a parking lot to get dinged, scratched, shit on, and hailed on.
@@brianbird3756 It's a small lot with only a few cars--if you park on the end and leave yourself room, there shouldn't be anyone dinging me or scratching it--haven't had an issue for over 5 years lol. Hail is another thing, but that could happen at any time. If you never have the car outside, there is no point in having it lol.
As dumb as it is--it's just a material issue--not engineering. And a sticky cup holder cover is hardly a reason to not drive a C6 grand sport. It's one of the best sports cars ever made. I think they should have just eliminated cup holders all together lol.
@@nick9602 1st off I really have no idea what you're talking about we are here in this country I was born in Germany so Mercedes Benz is all I ever drive I own a collection of am g's in black series have no idea those dashboards are more solid than the metal on an American car but there is nothing that you could find on a Mercedes that would make you not want to own it they are 1000% bulletproof you never ruin an engine you never ruin a transmission And I have put on several cars close to a million miles and those motors are still running today
