Is It Normal for New Car Seats to Have No Protective Film?
2 Answers
It is normal for new car seats to have no protective film. Below is an introduction to the vehicle inspection methods: 1. Exterior: Start with the exterior. Check for any scratches on the vehicle's surface and whether the paint is even. You can also stand at a distance to see if there are any color differences in various parts of the vehicle. 2. Trunk: Open the trunk lid and check if the spare tire and related tools are complete. 3. Front Hood: Open the front hood and check if the levels of various engine fluids are normal. You can also check for any severe oil leakage in the engine. 4. Interior: Inspect the vehicle's interior. After entering the driver's seat, check if the seat functions are normal and test the various functions of the center console to ensure they operate correctly.
I just bought a new car recently, and when I picked it up, I noticed there was no protective film on the seats. I couldn't help but wonder if the manufacturer had cut corners. I went to ask the sales consultant, and he explained that this is quite common in modern car deliveries. Many 4S shops conduct PDI inspections before handing over the car, which includes seat cleaning and checks, so they remove the film in advance to save customers the trouble of doing it themselves. He thought that having no film actually makes things cleaner and more straightforward, allowing customers to directly experience the comfort of the seats. To be honest, I think this is completely normal and doesn't affect driving quality. If you really want to protect the seats, I bought a set of fabric seat covers online myself and just wipe off stains with a damp cloth regularly. No need to fuss over that disposable plastic. Anyway, the first thing to do when you get a new car is to get familiar with the controls—don't let such minor details spoil the joy.
