The fabric that lines a glovebox – and sometimes a centre console compartment – is easily the worst part of a new car.
Because see how it sheds?
It sticks to everything, is difficult to remove, and one time a hair got under my contact lens and I practically died from the pain.
I drive a new car every week so have been tracking this for years. It’s not localized to one automanufacturer, it’s across almost all of them, luxury or not.
Adding to my “potential column topics” spreadsheet, think I’ll investigate why it seems all badges are being held hostage to use the same sub-par fabric supplier.
