Preparing your Corvette for the winter or long-term storage

Too effen crowded, too hot and humid in the summer. You can have it.

[@failingup4907]

I'm jealous. Too hot and humid? Hibernate in the summer. People in the north are stupid! They look at Florida's summer like summer in the north. They should be thinking about their summer like our winters. Stay inside during extreme heat,how hard is this to understand? It gets to -10 to -25 up here.. F that! I'm going to move soon. I'd take Florida in a heartbeat! One of my friends lived here in MN all his life, he moved to Florida 3 yrs ago, and loves it! Keep telling me to move there. I'm actually working on it. You can function in the heat, you really can't in the extreme cold.

Yeah, here in FL we have to add a few lbs of air to the tires when daytime highs are in the 60s instead of the 90s. That's it. Winterizing done!

I've owned my 2004 C5 Z06 for 13 years here in Calgary Alberta, where we have 5mo of winter and -35 temps. Mines parked in my insulated garage, sits on 4 rubber sport floor tiles and fill tank halfway with 94 Techron + Techron additive and no issues, along with trickle charger and thanks to winter parking she's only got 50,000mi 👍 thanks for your content.

[@yesterdayz]

Good video, few other tips. I have an 04 Convertible, I unlatch the top so the seals are not tight, Put paper towels under the wipers so the blades are not on the window, put Plywood under the tires, and put dryer sheets in the engine bay, in the car, and in the exhaust so rodents are deterred from making a nest.

[@victorvartanian8537]

It's also important to add dryer sheets to the engine and passenger compartments to prevent or at least discourage mice from making their home in your car.

[@eriklehnsherr5784]

OMG! Thank you so much! Ive read so many forums where people say "store your C7 with 1/4 tank or less so the fuel sending units don't corrode" and that made NO SENSE TO ME. My whole life people who own classics say "Full tank, no moisture" ect. Which logically made the most sense to me. Thanks again! I gotta get my C5 & C7 down to your shop. My C5 needs those LED light upgrades you did to your's.

[@holdenmagroin950]

I viewed a video in which the top C7 engineer Tadge Juechter did indeed recommend that on the C7 generation to keep the fuel level below 1/4 tank with some Techron added. There was also something mentioned about the fuel filler neck not allowing much air or condensation to enter but I don't recall the exact details.

[@joeperrone6677]

I saw the same Tadge video, and stored both my 2014 and 2018 C's that way. The fuel sender sticking at full was also an issue on the C6. In addition to the fuel prep, I also change the oil & filter, clean, wax and cover the car, add 5lbs to the tires - in our area, storage is at most 4 months, and mine is in a climate controlled garage that never goes below 60F.@@holdenmagroin950

I always store my cars with the axles / tires hanging supported by jack stands with rubber buffers, strategically placed. The big one you mentioned is to run the vehicle low on fuel and replace with "Recreational Fuel" AND Stabil. Cars start right up perfectly every time, carburetor and fuel injected. Especially here in the Frozen Wasteland of MI.

[@michaelperronne3663]

Great content as always. I've got a few more things that I do here in Wisconsin for storing my C3 and C4 in unheated storage units. I put Sta-Bill in the gas tanks and then fill them very full to get as much air out of the tanks as possible. Then I drive them to work the Sta-bill through the fuel system. I put down plastic on the concrete floors to keep the moisture from coming up from the concrete. Dryer sheets in the car to keep the mice away. Moth balls and mouse traps by the tires or jack stands to keep the critters away. And I put steel wool in the ends of the tailpipes to again keep the critters from crawling into the exhaust. I take the batteries out and keep them in my basement on pieces of wood and not the concrete floor. Then I charge them periodically over the winter months. I have put the cars on jack stands for the winter. It's probably not critical, but it does keep the weight off of the suspension when the car is sitting for 6 months. And finally, I put the car covers on. Then it's sleep tight until next spring. Hope someone finds this useful.

[@richardelliott8352]

I had to comment on the level of knowledge enacted here. Because, I was once getting repair advice from an electrical engineer from across the country, thanks to the internet, when he said he would never leave his car unattended when hooked up to house current. He said the risk isn't worth it. I figured an electrical engineer would have good advice, so I pass it on. Although I have occasionally charged a battery overnight, I do recognize the potential of a device going bad, lighting strikes, power surges , lots of stuff besides the expected could happen when the car is connect to a live circuit. If that consistent energy gets to your car uncontrolled, it's check the insurance policy and cryin' time together. (I once talked to a couple that were buying a new washer dryer set because of a power surge. The guy said it even knocked two light bulbs out of their sockets. he said it was because the laundry room was right where the electrical line entered the house. Said the electric company was buying new appliances in his neighborhood, upon request.

[@FAllen-jl4ye]

A compromise - Leave your battery tender hooked up to the battery and plug it in once a week or once every two weeks overnight (or during the day), then leave it unplugged for the other 6.5 days (or 13.5 days). @@richardelliott8352

I was feeling smugly bright by the knowledge I don't need to put my Corvette away for the winter, and then you came along and reminded me that I too have to do a complete brake job on my Corvette, and wouldn't winter be a great time to do it. So I'll be taking a chunk of otherwise drivable weather to saddle myself with needed down-time via brakes too. I was feeling smart, and now I feel only the warmth & none of the cleverness.

I live in Missouri, and although it does get cold at times, it just doesn't snow much anymore (I sound like an old-timer😅). As long as there isn't salt on the streets, I drive it some in the winter.....couple times a week, maybe a dozen miles or so each time, enough to warm it up and get the fluids circulating. Now watch, we'll have record snows this year after I said that🥶

[@byrnc927]

I have been parking my collectible cars on carpet squares for the last 25 years. No issues with tires ever.

[@benzracer9]

All good tips. I would like to add one thing to your list though. I always run down to my local tractor supply, or farm type store, and get some mouse repellent and put it in a few small dishes in the garage and around the car. It smells like peppermint and I suppose keeps the mice away, because I’ve had no trouble of them getting into my C2.

[@csvette]

I mentioned that to another commenter earlier--cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil do a really great job of keeping them out of a car! Lyle

[@richardelliott8352]

I am old school , and hosted a feral cat looking to have kittens, with the result that I now have two offspring that hang around, and are now getting old, because cats are helplessly territorial and that is all they know, although other neighbors feed them.

I have even caught the dominant one napping on my corvette soft top, such is the dedication.

[@larryswango5473]

May have missed this information so apologies if I'm being redundent. If your insurance carrier allows thi option, call them to ask about putting your car on "winter rates" if you know you won't be driving for a period of time. Saves some dollars. I usually put my C5 to bed on or before December 1 and it won't come out until the next April. Then it just takes a phone call to my agent to restablish full coverage.

[@DMUSA536]

This advice is good for any car going into storage. I won’t put a cover on my car because I don’t want it to be a place for mice to make a home. I’ve taken precautions to hopefully deter rodents, but you never know. Any dust on the car can be easily washed off. You wash it during the year any way.

[@josephpatricio851]

I store my car, not a corvette, in Florida for nine months over the hot humid summer. I disconnect the battery cables, use desiccants fir the interior and also use charcoal briquettes in a container on the interior of the car and pump up the tires to the maximum listed on the sidewall, usually 59 psi. I’ve been storing it for 4 years and so far no mould and it starts right up when I reconnect the battery and no square tires. Previously I had a vehicle with cheap Chinese tires and they would be square for up to two weeks. With this car I have continentals and no issues.

[@FAllen-jl4ye]

When you buy tires, if you want to lessen the flat spot, avoid tires with nylon cord. Nylon holds a "memory" until it is heated from driving to loose the flat spot "memory". Polyester and the other fabrics hold much less flat spot memory than nylon.

This is my first comment ever on a any kind of channel - I have a 2003 Anneversary Eddition C5 Corvette that I purchased as a "date' car" 3 years ago. the question is: Regarding Winter storage - what's the best way to store the C5 convertible top? Do I just leave it up or down? Windows rolled down? or leave it partially up with the Front and back "up" - Basically is there a risk to the weather seals developing a memory from being locked down for months at a time?

[@csvette]

Hi Frank! You will definitely want to leave the top up and secured, windows closed. This keeps the top from being wrinkled and the rear window glass adhesive from being stressed. It also keeps creepy-crawlies and dust from having free access to the interior. Lyle :)

[@csvette]

The taillights/3rd brake light/Reverse Lamps/License Lamps and Rear Sidemarkers are the easiest to do, as you don't need access to the underside of the car to install. them. The headlight LED bulb conversion is next easiest, but time-consuming due to lack of workspace in that area. The park lamps are best done with the car in the air. Lyle :)
