Was second guessing myself whether I should have gone with the powdercoated frame on my Sela Green. No longer second guessing.

From what I can tell all units are fieldmasters or stock buildups. I’d read the Trialmasters need additional inspections due to the high power overhead wiring. Still it’s been over a month now in port. For a couple hundred vehicles per port how long can it really take?
The wiring inspection is a more recent campaign than the trailer wiring matter from what I've gathered... With that being said, to the best of my knowledge the port personnel are all Wallenius Wilhelmsen employees, and thus are dealing with all the vehicles coming to their respective ports on their ships (across many different brands); so there is only so many man-hours per day available.
Okay need some enlightenment from those with more knowledge ... high power overhead wiring? Trailmaster vs Fieldmaster. Thank you!
There was a concern raised that some of the units with the overhead panel had a pinched wire in the system. They are suppose to be removing a panel and checking the wiring to see if it is pinched.
Thank you very much for that info!
From what I've been heard the wiring inspection is at the dealers during the PDI process, not at the ports.
It will be all that. There is a process for detailing the vehicle and reviewing all the systems prior to your delivery. Look at the positive side of this situation, they identified a concern (not a definitive issue) and are making going through the process to determine if it needs correcting prior to your ownership. I would much rather they identify any concerns prior to delivery. This process is also done for autos far more expensive than an IG. I once sold Ferraris, Rolls Royce, and Aston Martins. They all have been through this process. You just never heard about it because there is not such an in-depth following as being exhibited by the IG community. It will be in pristine condition so you can get it muddy and scratched by branches, lol
I trust your experience and knowledge and thank you for sharing this info!From what I've been heard the wiring inspection is at the dealers during the PDI process, not at the ports.
Calling any dealership a "cleaner facility" is a bit of a misnomer, and at least here at the Port of Baltimore, many (if not most?) of the W&W employees are ex-dealer techs. Additionally, the Ineos technical team spent time training the employees at the ports as well.
Removing the overhead panel is as simple as a good yank, no real instance for smudges luckily
There is no reason your vehicle shouldn't be meticulously pristine when you get it, if it isn't, it lies on the dealership to make it right for you.
. Grateful for all the info shared from other Dealers! Really setting an example of quality and caring about customers. And if someone from Triad is part of this Forum, how about sending out an update ...
Exactly! Let me do the damage
!Yeap!!
Add to it all the other non-Ineos inventory W/W is working on as well
So the license plate, is it just screwed in the bumper or are there actual holes? To me it looks like its mounted too low on the bumper?
True but I need to take receipt this year (taxes) and it having been in port 5 weeks is starting to get a bit bothersome. Some that arrived after mine have already been delivered.
I agree. Clearly an afterthought and not a good one. I'm sure there is a way to get it higher but not with that plastic bracket.
Is it mounted to a plastic "faceplate"?
