Panel fitment
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2022 10:51 am
Hi All, I wanted to sense check this issue with other Tucson owners and see whether there is, in fact, an issue or I'm being picky.
I picked up my N-line S hybrid Tucson a week ago and so far I'm really happy with everything, apart from one little niggle relating to the panel fitting around the rear wheels. To be more specific it's the plastic wheel arch section that is mounted to the rear doors and opens with them. The section that is body coloured on the N-line but is black plastic on other models.
I've tried to illustrate the concerns below. Basically the left rear door arch section isn't tight up to the rest of the door at the top, whereas the right rear door is a tight fit at the top. The right rear door however has a slight gap lower down.
Left door Right door for comparison Right door lower down Left door lower down for comparison I'm not sure that I would have noticed had it been the other models with the black trim, but when it's all the same colour it seems like it should all be more seamless.
So, what does anyone think? How is your car in comparison? I'm not sure that I can be bothered with going back to the dealer (we have a lot going on at the moment) but if it's clearly not right then I will get in touch with them.
