Any input on how to go about having this feature installed in my C8

Soft closed what? Door, windows, trunk, engine cover? The parts are listed on a google search for most

Broken Halo

For the Frunk pull down unit it would only require a positive and negative connection to operate but the impossible part would be that it integrates with the EMC to activate warning message and prevent drivability if ajar.

You guys must be a 100 lb weakling if you cannot shut the frunk. My 110 lb wife has no problem.

super helpful comment....

people want the soft close so they dont have to slam / push down on the hood.

Do you all think a video would help on how to close the frunk?

I just lightly close mine then push on the area above the latch and it locks shut.

I think the issue is that people know how to close it but they don’t want to get hand prints on the front of the car. Obviously some people care more than others. I would love to have that feature on my car, but I don’t really stress about it. Others are more picky.

But how does the soft close prevent fingerprints? Perhaps a slightly smaller area but you still have to push on the lid to close it and there is no emblem to push on. I just use my knuckles to latch it. If it was a self closing lid it would be a different story.

doors and fronk if possible

Trunk already has soft close

I'm waiting on voice activated.................." Close Sesame"

It’s not too late to delete this.

...and, I bet we just can't wait for the autonomous driving version, too!

(but, no, not "addable" since it would have to integrate with the computer, et al.)

Maybe there are aftermarket products that will do soft close on the doors. That's not a feature on any Corvette from the factory. Adding the 2024 soft-close feature to an earlier C8 will be very difficult, if not impossible. The soft close feature isn't a simple on/off switch, it's controlled by the BCM, and earlier C8s won't have the software to operate the system even if you install all the parts.

To prevent fingerprints, just carry a handkerchief with you to put between your hand and the paint.

Tesla soft close door latches might work...they work on a McLaren.

You're doing it wrong if it requires more than a gentle "push".

as for "handprints"...I close mine using a soft cloth. Problem solved.

I close the frunk with my hand. But then again, I don't eat a candy bar with a knife & fork.

i clinch my fist like im going to throw a punch and softly close it that way, seems to cut down on the smudges, fingerprints quite a bit

Bob Paris

Hey, that's my approach too! Works well
