Coupe Creeeeek

[Flightlevels]

24 coupe - started getting a pretty good creek when diagonal crossing curbs. Read something about lubing the seals - did that but I think it’s coming from behind the pax side window area. Any experience out there on a solution or fix? I can’t be the only one getting this

Every since C5 when the torsional rigidity was 4.5 times stronger compared to the outgoing C4 with the Hydroformed side frame rails, most of the squeaks and rattles in the Corvettes disappeared.
Not knowing your car, options, what happens when you take the speed curbs or the curbs your describing straight on if you get any creaking then,
can you remove some of the trim pieces behind the door that cover the seatbelt and run the some route?
I've had three C8's and there is no creaking going over speed bumps, on choppy surfaces or running on the racetrack.
That also applies to the roof in or out. It's always a challenge to find these issues but you can start your process of elimination to figure it out.

Ya, I just went over railroad tracks (2020 coupe) on a diagonal and aside from losing some teeth there was no rattling.

Had a 2020 before the Z06 - zero troubles with it but this one gives it backing outta the driveway onto the street. I have the front lift and aero. Also slow approach onto any other curb fwd. as mentioned on a diagonal. I’m pretty certain it’s the rear window area behind the pax seat.

My 2024 has developed a squeaky noise from the area around the passenger seat it seems. It's just recent and not all the time so haven't yet tried to track it down. Going to see what I can figure out tomorrow and will update. As you suggested I doubt it's totally uncommon. Mine happens on anything other than a smooth surface which here pretty much is anywhere other than my driveway, lol.

My HTC had a bunch of pop rattle and creak in the folding roof until I cleaned and lubed all the seals now it just pops occasionally over bumps. It still has an annoying creak on the GT2 seat around the carbon fiber trim. It gets better if I adjust the seat angle....

The fix is to install an aftermarket exhaust and cats. Ask JR, I don't think he has this creaking issue with his car?

I moved the passenger seat ahead about an inch and bumped the seat back forward a bit and no more creaking .

Sounds like a little joint lube might cure it...

It appears to be an occaisional event. Rock solid was a good description for my 2019 Z06.
My current G.Sport 2011, is a completely different case.
Its somewhat satisfying to know what the cause is, and the car isn't about to fail !!

Good power to be had. Here is evidence on the yellow Z06 if you haven't seen it already?



In this vid, headers make the second most to the cats.

Idk, it may save you some shop $ without having to do it again at another time?

Yes I will probably install all of them at the same time.

The Fab Speed combo sounds like F1 car?

No...

This sounds like a F1 car. Go to the 6:40 mark...
