So you'll know who to blame when you walk out into the garage and find this:
![]()
That is condensation on the inside of my headlight capsule from someone of UAW Local 2164 who forgot to press the rubber lid on the high beam bulb all the way forward.
It has to have been like this since October 2007 when the car ran off the line, but this is the first time there's been this kind of condensation.
My car is a strike car, and this is the second little thing like this I've found that could be attributed to an interrupted assembly process. The headliner being improperly adhered to the roof panel being the first.
Update: It's fixed. Cost to McThag $0.00 and a few hours. To access the lights on a 6th Gen Vette you remove the wheel on the side you want to work on. Pop off the access cover. Pull off the rubber covers, then you can get at the lights. To dry things out I put a 40w clip-on desk lamp in the capsule and let it sit for ten hours with the bulbs removed. There's a little 1/4" vent that would have eventually allowed the humidity to equalize, but a bigger hole from the bulb and some heat from the light cleared it up much quicker. In theory, with the cover properly in place, this will not reoccur.
