XC90 Metal Mesh Interior Scratches
Hi all
I am about to take delivery of a 2016 XC90 and has a few minor scratches to the metal mesh interior trim on the doors. Given these are textured, I’m guessing not possible to polish out. Any advice? Thanks ASA |

Seek pit a SMART trim repairer. Even better, make the dealer seak out a SMART repairer before delivering itnto you,

Thanks I’ve asked them to replace the trim in the first instance.

See, that bugs me. You wouldn't buy a shirt and expect to have to negotiate to have missing buttons replaced or a seam sewn up, so why do vendors of used - but nevertheless very expensive - used cars think they can do so?
Still, that's my rant for the day. Hope you enjoy the new motor.

I expect the dealer will claim the price has been reduced to allow for the imperfection.

If you bought a 6 year old shirt you might expect some minor wear. You might not expect buttons missing, but they provide key functionality of the shirt. Some scratches on the trim do not affect the key functionality of the car.

The dealer has agreed to swap out for trim in better condition from another car. Fingers crossed.

But above and beyond functionality there is the simple experience of owning a nice premium car, somewhere nice to sit and something nice to simply enjoy the ownership of. If they want one with scratches then why bother looking at 30+ grand used cars in the first place when they could just have that Zafira?
