2 rubber grommets in the glove box

Finally took delivery of my car last night but found 2 rubber grommets in the glove box still in the bag. The bag says it's for pre-inspector to place them in the sill. Not sure what that is for, anyone?

There are two holes in the rear sub-frame just in front of the wheels. Look in the area of the rear jack points. The plugs go there. Your Dealers should have done this on their PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection)

This.

If you look under the body right before the rear wheels you will see 2 holes. One per side. They pop in. I installed mine. No lifting of the vehicle required. Takes 2 mins at the most.

Wonder what it's for and why dealership didn't install them.

Those rubber grommets are essentially plugs to prevent stuff (animals/ road crud) from getting in the frame. There are holes in the frame from manufacturing. Dealers often forget to install these, but it does show that your dealer did not do the pre-inspection completely. I wouldn't worry but its annoying at the same time.

Yup I was the first. but now there is a silver one in town. more on the way.

But on topic. I printed out the PDI inspection form for the BRZ. Its about a 30 page document lol.

Appears as though those holes are used for tie down used during transportation.

Happened to me as well when I took delivery of teh BRZ. Good thing I caught it while I was picking up the car, the dealership installed it in 2 minutes.

Any chance you could upload this somewhere for us? I'd love to see what the list consists of!

And we can only see it in HTML format. Hard part is SOA has legal control of their web stuff. It's not like the current STIS system where you pay for access to download the PDF files. We should get the PDF stuff soon, the cars are on the ground!
