Default Throttle body top plate

I removed, cleaned and reinstalled the plate w/ hi-temp silicone.
How long should I let the car sit before driving?

Thanks.

Weather is hit or miss (possible rain).
I guess I will just stay home and let it cure.

I've been told that our ZR-1's won't melt in the rain but I'm not so sure that I'd want to test that theory.

Trust me! It does not melt in rain nor snow.
When I work, I drive in any weather (or get fired).
However, since I have been laid off, it's one luxury I have been enjoying.

I remember driving mine in the rain once. That was the day I found out my wiper motor didn't work, and I got the hint that the car didn't like the rain.

I use Rain-X religously. I never have to use wipers unless I'm going reeeely slow or very heavy rain. Makes cleaning the windshield easier too.

Good tip. I don't think the previous owner had done anything to the windshield in a while.
