Default Re: Interior dome light

Thanks for the reply. I brought the car in on Tuesday because the right rear headliner trim was hanging loose. I did something when I purchased this car that I have never done before. I was so thrilled to get it, it is an '05 limited, that I completely let my guard down and did not do the type of inspection that I have done with any car I have ever bought. I told them I wanted to detail the car myself which I always do, whether it's a new car or used. I guess if I would have let them detail it, they should have come across the hanging trim and fixed it then. When I got home I started to detail the car and noticed some overspray on the roof. I got an immediate oh in my head. I started to make a very close inspection when I saw that even though at that point I had already taken ownership of the vehicle I just hoped I wouldn't find anything drastically wrong with it. I had wondered why someone would turn a car back in with only 6,500 miles on it. Well I searched very carefully and could find nothing wrong except that it figured it must have happened in the area of the right rear quarter panel, since that was where the trim was hanging and the overspray was. I continued to check the whole car over, even took it for another ride to make sure it tracked straight etc. The only two things that were wrong were the trim and the self dimming cabin light. I brought the car in on Wednesday to have the trim fixed. They took the car and had it back in 5 minutes. OK now I feel better. Checked on the light and was told to call and they would let me know when there electrical man was due in. You mean they don't have a in house mechanic to fix this car?? Well I'm almost home and I hear a bang from the rear. Well there it is, the trim hanging down again. Got home and saw that the new nylon retainers they put in were all squashed and just let go. I decided to fix it myself and went and bought some retainers. They would not hold the panel up. I don't know if it has to do with some damage that was incurred in that area, which as I said I cannot see or me along with the guys at Chrysler just don't know how to do it correctly. I love the car, the way it looks and feels are great. I just hope I don't find any other surprises down the road. Sorry for the long post, just had to vent a little. Thanks, Bob
