Antenna Bezel Replacement
It appears that the rubber antenna bezel for our ZR1's are no longer available, but I am curious as to if anyone has found an acceptable replacement. Mine is torn, and beyond trying to make one, I was curious to know if anyone has found an acceptable replacement? Thank you.

No acceptable alternate I know of. I suggest reaching out to Mirrock Corvettes for a salvage part.

If someone can supply a spare I can investigate making a mold for reproductions in soft urethane.

Re: Antenna Bezel Replacement
The one I have is off a 91 it has a notch for proper alignment but it is threaded and held in place by a large nut assembly sorry don't know why the pic is side...
The parts book does show but not the nut maybe this is an aftermarket part, I just removed from the car today. Sorry this is some aftermarket part.... Black rubber part on top # 14104620

Re: Antenna Bezel Replacement
Is there a way the base car bezel can be modified to work?

Re: Antenna Bezel Replacement
I haven't tried but probably not. Reason being, relative to vertical (antenna), canting of the rear quarter side ways are different between standard C4 and ZR-1.
Image posted by We Gone looks to be for C4 between 84 to 87 based on google search image. |

Re: Antenna Bezel Replacement
the one in the pic was on a 91 ZR-1 that I parted out it looked to fit right .. but the antenna was not on the car I have a standard C4 bezel and yes the slant is the same as the pic.
My bet is if the aftermarket antenna had been on the car it would have been canted as you stated.
