Anyone ever sit in the back seat and notice..

the other day I was sitting in the back seat since I couldn't drive my car and just wanted to see how it was back there.

I first thing I noticed is in the passenger side under the glove compartment I see wires sticking out, also under the drivers seat I see zip ties not fully cut holding down the wires to my chair. I then got to the passenger side seat and tried to push the wire/cables up but wouldn't move. Also the passenger side looks like it needs more carpeting to cover wires, and stickers.

How about the headliner? Mine looks like its missing a trim piece where it meets the glass. I can get my fingers between the headliner and roof. The photo was taken with the camera against the rear glass, shooting up at and angle paralell to the glass.

What I hate is the quality of the lining inside the front seat rear pockets. Is that even a lining or is it totally nonexistent??

Nah but I noticed the rails which the bottom of the frontseat lapbelts attach to are visible when they would be better covered by carpeting or something.

Yup, I know exactly what you're talking about Mine's the same. Pathetic craftsmanship .

Regarding the seatbelt rails, they should make a molded plastic cover. I dont think carpet would work cuz the seatbelt needs to slide back and forth.
I hate the lining, in my car, the lining at the quarter glass is not even straight and flat. It gave my car a cheap appearance.

this same thing has happened to me too. the headliner was totally coming off when i first bought the car. i took it in to radley acura, they had my car for 2days. when i came to pick it up, i check their work. they didnt do jack shit! it was still fuct up. i complained cuz they had my car for so long and didnt do anything. the only thing the service guy could say was, "all the CL's are like that." i was furious, so i just told him to fuck off and left. the quality of this car is suspect.
