Discovering packing plastic

[MerlintheMad]

I thought there must be a thread on this, but if there is, it's buried.

I happened across this pic in my random picture files "bin". Apparently I did not share this one, because the very next day I was taking pics of the battery box and missing vent plug "adventure"; so the discovery of this piece of plastic under the hatch "floor" was forgotten.

As far as I can recall, this was the last piece of plastic that I found, c. 14 months after getting my car.

This could be fun(ny) to share: what is the piece of packing plastic that you discovered and how long after you had your Stinger was it that you discovered the last (latest) piece of plastic?

Got mine used in September and about a month ago I found a piece behind the backseat armrest. Guess the guy who had it before me didn't have too many passengers haha.

Lol. The strip behind the backseat armrest was discovered, iirc, well after six months in. But finding plastic on a used car is a special level of funny.

Does everyone still have the plastic film on the hatch latch mechanism? I do.

Yep. I'm one of those weird people that likes to leave the plastic on things as long as I can, so it's remained there since I found it.

I looked that one over and left it on. That is heftier than the packing film, more like a piece of PPF.

Are we bored of the car already? Weird thread.

Found another one! Was vacuuming and in the driver footwell, very bottom of the seat.

How about the white strip under the center stack, where it meets the console?

I don't have that and never did. "They" got to that one before I saw my car's interior.

It would be hard to remove, unless you have itty-bitty fingers. I have man-hands, so I guess I'll leave it.

That would drive me nuts. I'm guessing the narrow end/edge of a hair cutting comb would work to tease the end out, then you could grab it and pull it down along its length.
