How practical is the cargo space on a C8 Corvette/ IMPORTANT find while washing my Corvette

Today I will be trying to see how many items I can store in the C8 that I would have been able to fit in my C7. I wanted to show off the utility of this mid-engine sports car and I hope you all enjoy.
When I opened the rear hatch it wast the first time opening a mid-engine car car after soaking it and I point out the areas you will have to spend extra time over previous gens.

Lol what's the concern? I had a Ferrari 355 GTS and the engine bay would get wet but would dry quickly once the engine was running. Any excess water or water marks can easily be cleaned up. I don't have my C8 yet but i will probably place a large beach towel over the engine when washing. I'll then dry the outside with a leaf blower before lifting the rear engine deck, remove the towel and dry up any residual water. No big deal.

[@fejmeltonian]

After you hand wash your car at home you should dry the exterior of your car then use an air compressor to easily detail all of those problem areas with accumulated water and soap.

[@GadgetyMV]

Thank you for a really useful video. Regardless of what the water does in the engine compartment (it'll probably dry up from heat) detailing after a car wash IS something someone with a window to the engine compartment will care about. Trunk/frunk volume is something the Corvette crew has used in their marketing, supposedly 12.6 cu ft. Now we got to see how usable those cu ft are.

[@ellobo1326]

I have been pressure washing every single engine on cars I have owned for the past 40 years. Of course you wouldn’t put the nozzle 3 - 4 inches from delicate wiring/connectors. But if you simply adjust the spray or adjust the distance of the spray it works fantastic for removing road dust and gunk from every nook and cranny. Places you could never reach with any brush. Start off 6 feet away and work your way in to see what is the perfect threshold. I have never encountered a single engine problem or any damage. Just use common sense. It’s that simple.

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

ok, thank you for the contribution. I was nervous about spraying inside of there

[@ellobo1326]

Morgan Crosbie You are welcome. I have a C8 ordered and fully intend to wash the engine bay anytime it is needed. I will either buy an aftermarket trunk lid to keep water out of trunk or devise my own. Thank you for your C8 content. It’s nice to learn as much as possible while waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

[@a.edw.160]

“Should be” being key

[@robertstahl8835]

Very few people are going to HAVE to open the engine bay in the rain. Most people don't even drive them in the rain... As an owner of many over the years, the interior or the front cargo will be plenty MOST of the time. The front cargo is more convenient to get things in and out of as well. The only use case I think you would actually "have" to open the engine bay in heavy rain is if you're golfing and it starts raining and you need to load your clubs in the pouring rain

[@johnbell2063]

You need to dry the outside before you open the hatch... Almost zero water inside if you dry the outside first!

[@cudavrage]

Exactly dry the car before you open the hatch. Open the hatch dry the outside of the car again where the hatch dripped when opened...then dry inside of the hatch. Tips: 1. use a pressure washer only when the car is very dirty. 2. Use garden hose with no high pressure nozzle if possible when rinsing. 3. Use a soap bucket and a clean water bucket.

[@richarddobreny6664]

That won’t work, the mesh on the back glass is open to the engine bay, any water on the back glass area can drip directly into the engine bay.

[@nicholassoash5967]

Thanks Morgan! For those of us who aren't influenced by an uncalled for rude and aggressive Car and Driver article. That's great information. Everyone should make sure to open your C8 hood and polish after washing. Keep it open for a while to let extra moisture evaporate. That way you have a beautiful view through the visible compartment unobstructed by water marks. Obviously the vents allow water. You obviously knew that. My only suggestion is to spray as little as possible toward the front of the car. You will always have to spray in there a little though.

hundreds of tests are done with these cars. they say that during the tests the car receives a strong jet of water for a few minutes, to detect any type of infiltration. this was done so that the heat comes out of the engine bay, the most important thing is that the water doesn’t enter the trunk

Then either dry that with towels (I would probably use a leaf blower because I’m lazy and old) remove plastic...I’ve not seen this car person so maybe my idea won’t work...but just my thoughts at first glance...good luck!

[@Maximum1A]

While at the NCM 25th Anniversary bash in late August where they had the over 10 C8s on display and several cut-away C8s along with Tadge, Harlan, Kyle (BG Plant Manager) and the lead design team. I spoke with the lead designer responsible for the C8 engine bay. I asked him about water getting into the engine bay because of the top air vents and the big duct fan that pulls air (and water on raining days) directly into the engine bay. He told me (and repeated it) that everything in the engine bay is waterproof including every connector/connection, electrical component, and the engine itself. He said the number one priority was keeping the engine cool so in addition to the two big radiators upfront and the big fan located in the left air duct they had to add those open vents in the rear hatch for added airflow. He said the only damage that may occur is to the Corvette owners when they see how dirty the engine can & will get. So no, Car & Driver.....water getting into the engine bay will not hurt anything.

Get a can of Back to Black at your auto store spray it on engine cover and panels around it if some hits the engine that's fine it will soak in and keep its natural shine its a great engine detail spray I use it on my Gencoupe on the aluminum engine keeps its shine it soaks in you can use it on the inside deck lid also spray on let is sit wipe off your set then.

[@lgvenable]

so I've read a lot of stupid comments... My suggestion as a degreed chemist > with 43 years coating experience…mind you...vist your Xpel dealer and order a small roll of their track film. I use it over my Xpel Ultimate (8.5 mils thick) on two cars, when I'm doing burn-outs with my LS7's. Personally that $$$$ ceramic coating won't protect the car from a small pebble at 125 mph > like the Xpel! On preventing this issue just place a piece of the Xpel track film (its a temporary film), across the vent, the hard block soft block PUR coating should adhere well enough, then allow the film to direct the water over the vent >easy peasy. you might have to tape the leading edge > check 4 adhesion before spraying. Avoid spraying the leading edge > use a soft damp cloth to wipe that after you're through > before you lift the film’s leading edge >and after make sure all dirt is off. Yes commenters, there are alternatives: 1. Glad food wrap or a roll of wrapping film from your work, you work-thieves...do not forget to tape the leading edge on the glass! >then voila...water rolls off. 2.Just use a high-quality tape from 3m etc. duct tape to block the vent > voila water rolls off again don’t spray the leading edge with high pressure, the tape might lift. 3. Alternately use blue paint tape 3” wide across the vent again, just don’t spray the leading edge with high pressure, so zero lifting On paint protection again part of my career was spent working on paint. I use what I feel is best IMHO the full Zaino system on all un-filmed paint areas and their polish and spray cleaner for in-between polish. On Xpel, use the Xpel film cleaner, spray with water then follow with a hi-quality carnauba wax. Hint 1: Use Stoddard solvent with mineral spirts (90-10 by volume) to pre-wet your carnauba wax pad., the waxes sold contain mineral spirits, but this trick allows you to apply a thinner film, hence easier to wipe off, and just as effective. The Stoddard solvent is a fast evaporating solvent, the small amount of MS slows it down for even wax oil consolidation. Hint:2: On Zaino use their cross linker to make the wax last longer. It’s worth it. Finally save your hard-earned bucks on that overpriced ceramic...use Xpel, in 10 years peel it off the paint underneath is still NEW! Those little pebbles (the ones (that with enough force) micro-chip your paint? and the ceramic (really if they hit too hard the paint fails at the base coat paint layer, or harder at metal), but with Xpel? No damage to the paint underneath. I have th experience, again in my career of having worked w/Xpel on reverse gravure and slot die web to web application that hard block soft block PUR coating for optical films used on cars like the Xpel/3M/generic for car care. All BTW use hard block soft block PUR coatings to protect the 8.5 mil thick film from being damaged. In that coating trial experience we QC tested these films with a neat QC device which broadcasts small pebbles at these films onto painted metal panels at 125 mph. To pass the coated film had to peel off with no paint damage, admittedly a pretty severe test - but none-the-less what Xpel and other manufacturers do. I've got Xpel ultimate on my '09 CGM Z06 3LZ. and my '15 Race Red Z/28 >neither have any film or paint damage, the Vette at 11 years, the Z/28 at 5.

I'm assuming that you do not want to install the front license plate holder. Does it do permanent damage to the car? (Many cars cut holes in the front bumper cover to install the front license plate holder.) The really big questions is how are OPP or local police with your front plate on top of the dash? In US states with a front plate, that would be a big no-no and collect some tickets. Thankfully over time front plates get fewer in the US, not sure aboot Canada. (Sorry, I live in Metro Detroit and have had plenty of time in Canada, and measure your sense of humor with that minor kid on pronunciation.)

You will get a ticket with that plate on the inside dash. Don’t be stupid. I would use an air Compressor on the engine bay to rid the water. As far as washing and getting water in the engine compartment, I would wash and rinse it then go for a quick blast down the street then pull into a parking lot and dry it then most of the water will have been blown off. Also I would not be driving around with rattling gold clubs. Use a different mitt to wash the rims unless you like sand and dirt scratches in your paint.

Must be nice to be able to afford a car like that

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

the beauty of the vette is its attainable to everyone. you dont need to get one new. a C5 right now is a really sweet starter car.

[@a.edw.160]

Starguard ! Don’t be bitter. Work hard and spend your money wisely and you can get one. They’re attainable.

[@petercerrito]

Worst case Ontario 😂

I've read this comment a few times scrolling through the comments....... Dear God, I just got it. Duh.

[@MikeDomi0618]

Talks about it like its leased. Btw if you ever washed a c7 you get steam if it's cold out from the hood vent and the water on the radiator after a wash.

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

cool

[@fakez06sean98]

Engines get water in them.....mid engined cars are no different.

[@joshuaweiser459]

On top of it I haven't seen water get on top where steam can fog up the rear window and obstruct your view

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

I was just trying to point out where water accumulates for all the people who were at home waiting to get their new C8 corvette, this has been taken completely out of context.

[@chevydmax1000]

Not on top of a rear-engine car!

[@larryleonard7098]

Oh, also, he put a note in his seat to remind him the towels were there so he would not leave them inadvertently.

[@thedon897]

The engine is going to get wet. Nothing wrong with that.😂

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

Yeah lol

[@Sergeantcruz1216]

Invest in a battery powered air blower....it will make life a lot easier....

[@chrisd1828]

Solution: Get one of those small battery powered leaf blowers and use it to blow out the water from the engine bay.

[@AGENTWOLF]

Dude we should be friends😂😂😂

[@marcg1964]

Morgan, another excellent video. You are really going out of your way a lot to help us all out. Did you previously treat/coat the plastic around the engine bay? It looked pretty good with no water spots.

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

Nothing has been done to mine yet, thank you again for your support, Your favourite Canadian :)

[@larryleonard7098]

I watched a video on You Tube today where the guy put two thick towels over the engine and when he finished washing there was NO water any where.

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

Interesting I will look into this

[@23MBeezy]

I'm no rocket scientist, or scientist of any sort BUT why not dry the exterior before opening the hatch? Just a theory...I bet it would only leave minimal water. Drops at best

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

i was not trying to show you how to wash the car, i was just trying to see where the water would accumulate for when you need to dry it off.

[@michaelthompson4178]

How u supposed to even work on these cars given how far away the engine is from the rear fenders? Drop the motor down from underneath or something?

[@biglee13m]

With the right tools... things are much easier.

[@chewbabergahermandad8319]

Yo what color is that 🔥

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

Ceramic matrix grey

[@MontanaRealtyCompany]

People are so fucking dumb. He said it in the video "this is to simulate if it was raining". You don't always have the chance to dry your shit before opening the hood or door. What it if is raining? This is a good instructional video to show how the water could damage your car in the future.

[@janbaer3241]

Take a drink every time he says "Vehicle".

[@Cars_and_Crosbie]

haha yeah I am trying but its a hard habit to kick

[@johnsantos1225]

Congrats. You are one of the young old geezers in the world. Water hahaha! Learn how cars work. Engine plastic doesn't actually do anything. People actually dry door jams etc. Funny no water made it onto that crappy golf bag 🤣

[@Chief_5]

Get a cover for your golf bag, might prevent a nasty club accident in the future.⛳️⚡️😡
