Lariat has a faint circle in the door panels

[PonyXpress]

I noticed that both of my front door panels have a faint circle, like a template to cut a circle in the door, maybe for a speaker. My Lariat has the Tech package so I have the upgraded sounds system. My doors do not have speakers.

Weird that I can see the circle. It looks terrible. They should have either cut the hole out and added more speakers, or make a solid door panel with no faint circle.

Just curious if others have this same issue? I assume for those that do have speakers in the doors, it's a non-issue.

Mine had that when I picked it up from the dealer. When they cleaned it up for delivery, they were able to remove it with some interior spray cleaner. I believe the marks were where some sort of robot suction cup was used on the factory floor.

Yes, suction cup spot when attaching or hanging the door/panels, easy to clean off.

I don't see a suction-cup being used on the door line at the plant.

Maybe when attaching the panel to the door itself. Or being grabbed and placed in the pile for the employee to attach by hand.

I tried a wet rag (water only), no luck. I wasn't sure what to use to clean it. I would also be curious if you clean it, does it re-appear later - meaning the cleaning is just covering it up temporarily. Glad to hear it does come off.

I just looked at mine again and no visible signs on either door. Drove it off the lot on March 16. The dealer used a really oily/greasy "mop & glow" showroom product on it. I hate those products. They leave an oily film and attract dust, but the dealers love them because they hide a lot. I'm going to use a car interior "all surface cleaner" on it to remove the oily film. I'm going on a road trip this weekend and will wash it and wax it next weekend. I'll look everything over really good then.

Yeah, I had the same thing before dealer prep, it wiped off.
