[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 732136, member: 5925"] The access panel is an added expense. If the company doesn't want to pay for it, it just won't happen. That's a problem I'm confronted against every day. And I'm on the engineer side of the discussion. Plenty of good ideas but no money to make them happen. Last one I personally participated in was adding a skid plate on a limited run of "offroad special edition" vehicles. We didn't get the money to add a cutout to remove the oil filter and access the drain plug. But marketing insisted that the manufacturer name needed to be on it. We ended up with a skipd plate that you'd have to drop for every oil change, but that had a nice logo embossed in it. ::) Or maybe the engineer responsible to design your suburban trunk panel was a moron. That happens too. [/QUOTE]
