Warranty item? Panels/upholstery alignment

[NW Dave]

OK this may be a nit for many but for me it is something that I now see on my new R6 Surf that I cannot unsee every time I'm on her.

You can see the right edge is high while the left edge is low. It is tilted rather than true to gunwale as it is everywhere else. Close ups of the left and right ends show the extent to which they are off.

If it were slightly off, it wouldn't bother me but the extent to which it is off and the only piece really that is off to this degree bugs me. I have asked my service department to look at this and take it up with Cobalt. Anyone else have luck pressing this with Cobalt?

That’s disappointing as it obviously catches your eye.
I think it’s deserves some clearance as not to rub.

As a group of toured the Cobalt factory , we watched the “ by hand fitting of interior as the Cobalt they were assembling was close.

My fear would be your next panel may not share the same material dyed lot and fittmen would be up to the local dealer.
Perhaps as it’s molded it can be adjusted and or heated and shaped ?
Have them find the hidden back screws first.
Just a thought as it’s not like ordering a door panel from GM.
Here’s some pics of assembly.

They are going to file the mounting holes until they can split the difference and make it even.

Thanks cmattj. Love the photos and appreciate these are hand built to a degree. Hoping it can be fixed somehow with the existing piece vs. getting a new one but if it is replaced, not sure how much of a coloring mismatch there would be. Good catch on that however.

Hopefully if they do, this won't cause any other issues but I need this piece aligned for my OCD sanity.
