Dose anybody notice cut outs on the bottom rear of both exterior rear door panels of the 2011 Terrain?
In my opinion, it would look better without the seams. I would rather see one uniform body without joints. It seems like there was an accident and somebody glued some of the door panel back together again with some glue.Phantm006 said:Those aren't cut outs. They're plastic overlays to protect the paint due to the body work being wider right there.
So they are stick on or glued on. I'm not a big fan of the way it looks. Kind of like a stick and paste project for 4th grade.Phantm006 said:I'm not sure I follow you. You're talking about the bottom corners of the rear passenger doors right? It's just paint protector sheets. The door itself is all one piece. You can remove them if you'd like. But your paint may get dinged.
A detailers brush will get rid of the wax Another one didn't you look at your vehicle before you bought it If this stoneguard bothers you this much maybe you should have walked away from the deal until GM restyles their vehicle ..wbassnp007 said:I think that a solution to this protective problem could have been accomplished with much greater style. To the untrained eye, it looks like some kind of repair or patch job. Perhaps additional moulding or or a different material would give a more stylish and finished look. It definitely doesn't belong there. At first look, it seemed like some kind of access panel, or even worse, somebody made some kind of repair. The look is simply unfinished. Especially when waxing, I find minimal amounts of residue accumulating in the seams which accentuate the outline of the cover to a greater detail thus bring even more attention to it.
Spoken quite well. You'd be a great narrator on the Discovery channel. You too IceMan...If I do say so myself.wbassnp007 said:I think that a solution to this protective problem could have been accomplished with much greater style.

It's not a deal breaker but I feel that it could have been designed more tastefully. There are many different solutions to a problem. Management chose plastic overlays for protection. I guess some owners really like the way these protective pieces look and enjoy the aesthetics.fourmoremarine said:A detailers brush will get rid of the wax Another one didn't you look at your vehicle before you bought it If this stoneguard bothers you this much maybe you should have walked away from the deal until GM restyles their vehicle ..
Bet that tux will have cuffs on the pants so they don't drag in the waterwbassnp007 said:I guess they are really not that bad. But when I think about the seams, I would have preferred one uniform door panel without a patch job look. But you guys are right, the patch job look is insignificant compared to the overall package. The next time I buy a tuxedo, I'll make sure it has no patches.
