Interior Out

Posted by Malc on December 9, 2013
Posted in: 2014 Build.

After removing all the glass, the interior was up next.

Spec’d in a delightful red cloth with burgundy door cards and trim, it was hiding the 132k miles pretty well in fairness. Once we got to pulling it apart we found a few more interesting bits and pieces.

Removing the rear cards, nigh on every trim clip was mashed and mangled and not really holding anything in place. Then we spotted what looked like an aerial wire. Bit more poking around, this has the optional additional alarm system with tracker, ultrasonic sensors and tilt sensor. Presumably this was dealer fit which would explain additional wiring being zip tied to the main harness rather than properly integrated. (It doesn’t explain the shockingly poor quality of work, however!)
