C8 Corvette HTC Fast Access Covers

The Chevrolet C8 Corvette HTC Fast Access Covers by C8RallyDriver Designs is a full replacement for the OEM rubber seals covering the oil and coolant holes on the C8 Corvette hard top convertible (HTC) engine bay cover. Presented as a boxed set, the HTC Fast Access Covers feature super strong N52 black epoxy coated neodymium magnets for fast snap-on and snap-off access to the oil/coolant caps and oil dipstick on all C8 HTC variants, including Stingray, Z51, Z06, ZR1, ERay and Grand Sport.  If your car has an additional coolant fill hole on the driver side of the engine bay (ERay/ZR1/GSX), you will need to order the additional coolant hole cover as an optional add-on.

The waterproof oil/coolant HTC Fast Access Covers come with optical quality acrylic window inserts. The high-temp acrylic viewing window option is heat and UV stable to allow viewing billet and custom painted oil and coolant caps including the C8RD Designs GM Officially Licensed Corvette Flags Oil Dipstick Covers. The 6061 billet aluminum bezel for the HTC Fast Access Covers is available in several anodized color options, adding color and style to a highly visible area in the engine bay of all 2020+ C8 Corvette hard top convertibles.

The clear acrylic inserts and mounting installation kits are replaceable and can be ordered HERE. Gloss  carbon fiber inserts are an option. As with all C8RD carbon fiber products, our carbon fiber inserts are CNC machined from "real" carbon fiber, not a a wrap or dipped "carbon fiber look" product.

Each set is ready to install with a show-quality finish. Dimensions allow for factory fitment. No modifications are required for installation or use and includes all mounting hardware. Fitment is for factory OEM engine bay covers but will also work with aftermarket engine bay covers with OEM dimensions.

Anodized Finish

While we use the highest quality dyes and anodizing processes, all anodized parts are susceptible to color fade from exposure to UV light, heat and cleaners over time.  To maintain the vibrant color of your anodized parts as long as possible, minimize long term direct sunlight exposure with garage storage, car covers and coating the products with a UV inhibiting SiO2 and graphene ceramic spray coating after washing and on a regular detailing cycle.  This will also help keep the product clean and avoid mineral deposits and water spots. Do not use chemical or acid based cleaners on anodized parts. 

Installation

Install video is located HERE.

Start by removing the engine bay cover from the car. Remove the rubber seals and the metal hinges from the engine cover using a 10mm socket.  Fill the 4 bolt holes with the rubber plugs provided in the installation kit. Before proceeding or removing the VHB adhesive tape backing, place the seals on the open holes to get a sense of placement and positioning. Do not place the oil cover too close to the back of the hole/center of the car - use the outside edge and place just inside the lip - this will prevent the back of the Fast Access Cover it from rubbing on the engine bay cover.

Use the alcohol preps to thoroughly clean the mounting area around the coolant and oil seal holes.  Allow to dry 1 minute. Once dry, apply adhesion promoter to the mounting area around the perimeter of the coolant and oil seal holes. Allow to dry 1 minute.  Remove the VHB acrylic tape backing and center the covers over the holes, pressing down firmly.  Lift the top bezel off to expose the black mounting ring. Press down on the black mounting ring down all the way around to ensure good adhesion and full contact is made. Reinstall the engine bay cover. Snap on your new C8 Corvette HTC Fast Access Covers and head to your nearest car show!

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION AND USE WARNING:  Do not use glass cleaner, alcohol or other chemicals on the acrylic windows. Remove the covers if removing the engine bay cover and when washing the engine bay to avoid damage and clean with a soft detailing cloth.  Do not wipe when dry to scratches - always use Novus or another acrylic safe eyeglasses cleaning product that is alcohol free.
