Exposed wiring under drivers seat

Hadajag · Mar 6th, 2023, 10:26

My wife is not very tall and has the drivers seat well forward (set in memory).
In this position multiple thin wires are exposed on the floor under the seat.
We are concerned hat these are exposed to possible damage by feet of grandchildren when in the back seat.
Is this normal or is a cover missing? Unfortunately I forget to bring this to attention when I had the car seviced week before last.

It's normal. The unit with wires controls the HiFi and is also the amplifier.

On aliexpress are some under seat mouldings to cover the wiring etc. up and create small storage trays.

Could you provide a link please as have searched Aliexpress but get innumerable results that seem to ignore key words and having trolled though these cannot see anything specifically suitable.

AliExpress has this thing by default where the seller doesn't get money until you confirm you've received the goods. I thing this "wait period" is 60 days, or similar. After that, if you (as a buyer) didn't complain they will release your money to the seller. If you confirm receipt of goods before that period expires, then they will release the funds immediately to the seller.

So you're pretty well covered for any purchase you make... I personally never had an issue in better part of 10 years, and only once did the goods fail to arrive, where I complaned, and they asked me if I wanted a refund or to send me the same goods agan. It was something like 10€ of value, so no big deal, and I requested to be sent the goods again, which they did, and it all arrived on schedule this time.
