Team-BHP - View Single Post - Bolero Storm: First Black VLX in India-Now with a new Heart

Lot of old Bolero owners keep telling me that the quality of the new Bolero is not as good as the old GLX or Armada. My Storm is about 2.5 months old. Plastic items that have already given up are

Plastic Cord that holds the diesel cap. Snapped apparently not being able to hold the weight right in the first week itself.
The plastic grasp clip to hold the power steering hose became loose in the first week itself. Had to put a wire to keep the hose fastened to the clasp.
The plastic panel that house the gear lever and various cubby holes for knick knacks have been coming out in thefirst month itself. On telling this to the Service Centre fellows, they just stuck it fevikwik.
On the front passenger side, there is a plastic panel covering the metal l angle. The rivets holding the panel to the metal angle snapped yesterday for apparently no reason.

These small small niggles leaves a bad taste for other wise a decent vehicle

.

I hope Mahaindra is listening.

Cheers
