S60-1482 | Genuine Paccar® L Interior Trim Panel

• A well‑fitted trim panel maintains interior quality and durability. A damaged or poorly mounted panel can rattle, fall off, or expose interior structure/wiring.

• In accidents or when installing accessories, interior trim panels are often removed or replaced. Knowing the correct panel ensures fitment and appearance.

• Because interior panels can carry part numbers, exact match matters: color, texture, fastener locations, and fitment side (left/right, front/rear) are important.

1. Visible Cracks or Breaks

Cracks, splits, or broken sections in the panel itself.
The panel may look uneven or deformed, especially after impacts (e.g., doors slamming or accidents).
A broken or cracked trim panel can make the interior look unfinished and may cause sharp edges to be exposed.

2. Loose or Detached Panel

If the trim panel is loose, it may start to rattle or make noise when driving over bumps.
The clips, fasteners, or screws holding the panel may have become damaged or come loose, causing the panel to hang or even fall off.
If the panel is part of the door or rear quarter, it might detach partially, exposing the underlying door frame or other components.

3. Misalignment

The panel may look misaligned or uneven, not sitting flush against the door or frame as it should.
This could be due to incorrect installation, warping from heat, or the panel being knocked out of place.

4. Air Leaks or Drafts

If the trim panel is not sealed correctly or has come loose, it could allow air, dust, or water to leak into the cabin.
You might notice whistling wind noises or a draft from the side, especially when driving at higher speeds.

5. Exposed Wiring or Components

A damaged or loose interior trim panel may expose wiring, electronics, or mechanical parts that should be hidden, like the door locks, handles, or airbags.
This can lead to wear and tear on electrical components or even safety issues.

6. Water or Moisture Damage

A trim panel that is loose or cracked can let water or moisture seep into the interior of the vehicle, causing potential damage to upholstery, wiring, or interior materials.
You may notice mold, mildew, or water stains on the panel or surrounding areas.

7. Peeling or Fading Finish

If the panel is upholstered, you might notice the fabric, vinyl, or leather beginning to peel, fade, or wear out.
This is usually caused by sun exposure, high temperatures, or age, and can make the panel look worn or aged.

8. Inability to Mount Accessories Properly

Some trim panels include areas to mount accessories like speakers, handles, or even storage pockets.
If the panel is damaged or warped, it might not hold these accessories securely, leading to items falling off or becoming unstable.
