Little things that are really bugging me....

Started noticing lots of things and need a fix! Does anyone else have these?

Really bugging me:
Down next to the clutch where the little air vent is the whole panel thing is really loose Is everyones loose?

The passangers belt seems to constantly hit of the plastic pillar. I'm sure it never used to do this! There seems to be a little rubber thing on the pillar that may be to prevent this, but is way out of place?

When the climate control is off and driving down the motorway I seem to have freezing cold air pretty much blasting out of all vents.

Probably no fix for these, but the sun visors are absolutly useless.

Cheers

Danny

Is the metal clip of the belt facing towards the pillar, as mine was so I had to turn it around so its facing the seat.

There seems to be a little rubber thing on the pillar that may be to prevent this, but is way out of place? Fit a seat belt park (or use some blue tack like I do, it damps down the knock of the seatbelt buckle against the trim)
When the climate control is off and driving down the motorway I seem to have freezing cold air pretty much blasting out of all vents. No idea, dont have Climate control.
Probably no fix for these, but the sun visors are absolutly useless. Visors are fine for normal sized people with their seats set at the right height?
Cheers

See my thoughts above.

Re: Little things that are really bugging me....

What I did for the seat belt clip banging, is but those fuzzy felt strips you get for furniture that stick on the bottom to stop damaging floors, and stuck them to the plastic. Colour them in black and they work well.
