Question, about "..misinstalled bow padding.." did this cause an unsightly lump in the roof? as I suspect my 2013 has this issue. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago and didn't notice it right away, I've still got some warranty on it so I will get it checked out but I was curious to know if this is what I was seeing. the lump is located almost directly above the passenger head rest location.

Many thanks.

Lump in the roof above passenger headrest

Dealer Action:
According to the dealer a critter had set up camp and built itself a home between the headliner and the outer shell, they have since issued an eviction notice and the critter has vacated the premise. Problem solved. No idea how a critter could get in there but just beware that it is possible.

This is going back a few years but iirc, the padding was on the underside of the bow but it should have been on the top of the bow to prevent damage to the top rubbing on the bare metal of the bow. Anyone, does this make sense? Anyway, I took it back to the dealer and they made it right.
