    get ready for vehicle quality to go down. american plants pretty much always make the worst parts.

    hell, I’m aware of one situation right now where an OEM is knowingly assembling something incorrectly because the product design is shit. instead of fixing it, they’re just making the parts pass the inspection, while most definitely not making good parts.

      I can believe it, the Chrysler Hatchback on a model way back had a built in rubber seal molded to the plastic trim. They spec’d materials that don’t stick to each other so the seal would just peel off. Instead or changing materials they made it sawtoothed like nubs to hold the seal in place mechanically… But I’m sure that leaked after a while
