Whats this tomfoolery

so picked up the XC70 not long ago and just noticed something weird.

thats a photo of it on the listing that i bought it from

then this is a photo of it last weekend after i washed it

whats happened to the rear side window... the trim is upside down and a different colour. had a look online and it looks like the window from a v70 so its a different trim.

i'm SURE i would of noticed it when i went to view it but now im not too sure! I picked it up the day after viewing it so surely it couldnt of been replaced so quickly..

can't stop seeing it now i've bloody noticed it. interestingly when i first plugged into vida it had an old fault about a window breakage or something but i cleared it before I realised that this window isnt the right one.

guess it doesnt really make any difference but i'm guessing the seller must of accidentally broken it and just replaced with a v70 one from the scrappy, i couldnt see any evidence of damage anywhere. and nothing is missing from it.

i'm probably going to do absolutely nothing about it but you know.. kind of annoyed at myself for missing it!

Now that is weird. Is the one on the other side matching or has it got trim like in the listing pic? If so then perhaps the original pic has been reversed?

Pic not reversed
Fuel filler is still on the right side
No idea what they have done to car

That would drive me absolutely nuts.

The other side is the right trim. Right colour.

So must of been broken and seller couldn’t be arsed to buy the right part.

Annoying

Certainly very disconcerting, but it might be easily missed in the walk round as it matches the roof rails. Does it have the correct alarm &/or aerial wires in the glass?

The photo in the listing has to be from before the rear window replacement, perhaps the only way to place the approximate date of the photo might be the foliage on the trees or if you have a copy of the original listing on-line saved the jpegs might have their original date rather than the upload date.

That will eat away at you until you get it fixed. Bite the bullet now before the irritation makes you do something irrational. But maybe that's just my OCD speaking out loud again.
