Left Rear Quarter Interior Trim - 2002 Corvette C5 LS1

The left rear quarter interior trim for the Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997-2004) mounts behind the driver seat, concealing the inner fender structure, fuel filler neck, and Bose amplifier on premium audio models. When sourcing this panel in junkyards, verify you are pulling from a Coupe, as Convertible models utilize entirely different rear interior architecture incompatible with fixed-roof cars. Inspect GM part number 10308151 molded into the reverse side for authenticity, ensuring all six mounting tabs remain intact—these commonly fracture at the upper screw bosses due to decades of thermal cycling and brittle ABS plastic. The panel secures via three hidden screws beneath the rear weatherstrip and multiple Christmas tree clips along the forward edge. When installing service replacement 88958247, verify proper alignment of the cargo net anchor points and confirm the panel does not interfere with the hatch seal compression. Check for UV degradation near the glass on coupes, as prolonged sun exposure fades Torch Red (66D) and Light Oak (70D) finishes unevenly compared to door panels.
