Running the cables over the seatbelt bolt
To replace the fuel door release cable in a 2002 Corvette, you will need to run the cables over the seatbelt bolt. This is because there is not enough room to run them under the bolt, and they have a tendency to get under the bolt shoulder or the head and get pinched. This is not good for the cables, so it is important to ensure they are run over the bolt.
First, you will need to locate the cable. It is likely tucked in behind the carpet, so look for a slit on the side wall on the driver's side rear. Slide your fingers into the slit to pull out the plastic end of the cable. It should be located above the rear driver's side wheel.
Once you have located the cable, gently adjust the cable tension so that it is even, giving as much slack to the rear as possible. Then, run the cables over the seatbelt bolt. Make sure they are not running under the bolt, as this can cause them to get pinched.
After running the cables over the seatbelt bolt, remember to clip the fuel door cable into the little clip. Then, you can replace the carpet, trim, cubby door, etc. Double-check that the seatbelt bolt is secure before reinstalling the seats. Be careful not to drop the posts into the wrong holes, as this can cause the seat to get stuck.
