"Patches, I'm depending on you son,
To pull the family thru,
My son its all left up to you...."

My 2014 has holes. No patches.

"Patches? We don't need no stinking patches!!!"

Grand Slam

Didn't see one on my '17 GS.

I have the patches on both sides covering up the holes on my 2019 ZR1

Have the holes on my 2016 but no patches.
Most likely it has to do with the way its made being a hollow plastic part.
Another guess considering its plastic, is the holes are there to relieve stress.
If it was sealed, the plastic can expand and contract when the air inside gets hot or cold and possibly cracking the glass.

So I took the leap and removed mine yesterday as knowing they were there kept me up at night.

I disconnected the negative battery terminal and removed the stickers. So far, I haven't thrown any codes.

But, now how are you going to keep the blinker fluid from seeping out?

But did you set the parking brake firmly, first? Your owner's manual states that the parking brake must be set FIRMLY.

OMG, you've just voided your warranty.

How the heck is this going to relieve my stress???
