I just checked under my car, looks like I don't have them installed. And they are not in the glove box.

One trick you can try with an iphone or any phone with video cam, instead of crawling under the car or lifting it, just pass your camera under the area.

you'll have to really lay down to see the holes, they're further under the car than i thought they would be.

The holes are used to anchor the car down during transport.

You know...on a related subject, I recently looked at a 2013 ZL1. I am active on the ZL1 forums so I knew about a spring spacer that is put in place at the factory to keep the front end from dragging during transport.

Anyway as I looked at the car I took a peek at the springs and sure enough the spacers were still in place. There is even a large sticker right on the drivers side window indicating to the techs to remove spacers during PDI.

I mentioned this to the dealer and they quickly pulled car into service bay and popped them out. As they were throwing them into the trash I said I think they are to be put into the glove box for the owners use. It even said so on the sticker. They quickly threw the into the glove box!

I have no faith in dealers at all and will always stick my nose in places so things get done right on my cars.

So after reading about these grommets not being installed after the PDI, I finally decided to check and apparently my dealer did put them in

I'm glad they were actually doing their job. With a this rain going on, it could've been bad.
