When storing the car for the season, I place “Bounce” dryer strips inside the interior and trunk. Also place moth balls in the engine compartment as mice have an appetite for wiring as well as interiors. In each case more moth balls and dryer strips is better than less.

A few small containers of charcoal briquettes placed in the interior and trunk also helps control moisture in the unheated garage the car is parked in.

Storing the car with the top in the raised position will decrease fabric creases and shrinkage from long term storage in the lowered position. Our local professional trim shop always recommended we advise our Corvette customers to leave the top up to reduce stress on the latches and mounting points that can become an issue depending on how snugly the top material was installed. Cooler environments will accent these potential problems.

Hi Robert, Yes, it can be added in conjunction with STA-BIL® Brand. Although only a few minutes are needed to circulate the stabilizer (5-10) before storage.

Reduces moisture contact.
