Are we supposed to have seat track bolt caps/covers?
Am I missing these?
I know my C5 had them, because I would pop them off when I would take out my passenger seat.
Not sure if my C8 is missing them, or if this has been omitted by GM.
If these are not equipped for C8's, someone needs to produce these, because without them it really looks bad, and my mats do not cover them.

No there are no covers. But!! If you order some Lloyd’s mats. They actually come with some rubber nipple like covers.! I found some in my package when they shipped them to me. I’ll show a pic when I get home in a couple days

Had to check mine. The all weather Jake floor mats cover the mounts, but there are no bolt covers.

They are missing for the same reason that the 2020 through 2023 C8s are missing frunk soft pull down mechanisms.......they add weigh! Probably cost cutting actually, save time at the assembly line level.

I opted for the all weather GM mats and the mat goes over the bolts. I was also tired of constantly scrubbing the embroidered mats. The all weathers look great and easier to deal with!

Both my C5 and C7 have covers. That looks just like my Ram Tradesman pickem-up truck.

So the track bolt covers I ordered do fit the carpet cut outs, but I need to find a way to secure them.
The threaded seat bolt just barely hits the cap, so I drilled out a small hole, but the bolt doesn't protrude enough to hold the cap or to get a nut on it. Frustrated at this point...
If anyone is more inventive than me and wants to test fit the covers, I have 3 new ones left and the one I drilled I'd be willing to send..

I've never noticed and still don't notice them so it's not a problem for me...
