Pressure Release Bolt Wrench
I've searched the forums, the Owner Manual, and the car. Where is the "provided wrench" located??? Is there a place where it gets secured to a bracket/clip or something? Or is it loose and normally kept in the glove compartment?
 I figured that I ought to know where it is in case I ever need it. Thanks!

Mine was sitting in a bag on the pass seat when I picked mine up.

D'oh! Found it under the passenger seat, still in its bag...
I was going to just dedicate one from my tool set, but now I don't have to. Thanks everyone.

I have discovered that I don't have this wrench either.
Can someone post a pic of it, tell me what size, type. The only thing i could gather from a google search was from a corvette forum. them mentioned it being a 6mm allen wrench. None of the allen wrenches I have are long enough to fit down into the hole to find out. I am going to see if I can get a replacement from me dealer, but worst case does anyone know a part # or where to order it ? |

The Convertible Top (Power) Hydraulic Pump Wrench is used to assist in manually raising the top when it has become inoperable as a result of certain factors (i.e. temperature too cold, low battery power, hydraulic system overheated or failed, etc.). The wrench should come in a labeled plastic ziploc bag.
See sections 2-22, 2-23 & 2-24 of your 2011 Owners Manual for specifics on how the wrench is used. Sections 5-34 & 5-35 (Convertible Top Messages displayed in the DIC) You may also want to read this post for a little more info: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4805320&postcount=1

You're right, it's a 6mm hex key. One leg on mine is 200mm long, or close to 8". There is no PN on the bag, so I can't get that information. BTW, the label on the bag calls it the Convertible Top (Power) Hydraulic Pump Wrench. There's a mouthful...

My salesperson handed it to me and said "Don't lose this!"

Now stored safely in the glove box where I know I'll find and remember it.
