I know what you mean about the stickers and stuff. The week before my Pacifica was delivered I noticed that ALL the cars on the dealer's lot had decals across the top of the rear window that spelled out "www.dealername.com" in 2-inch letters. Went across 1/3 of the window. I told the salesman that under no circumstances was that decal to be put on my car; I though it was cheap-looking and refused to provide free advertising for their website. Wouldn't you know when I went to pick the car up, there was the decal. Salesman was very apologetic and said their internet guy was fast-he puts the decals on almost as soon as they roll off the truck. Although my husband kept telling me he could take it off, I told him no...the salesman promised it would'nt be there, so he'd take it off. Sure enough, two minutes later, it was gone. |

I am not a fan of the free dealer advertising either! I see lots of cars on the road with the dealer's name on the back of the spare tire cover, etc. I would not buy a car unless the dealer tells me up front that their wheel covers do NOT have the advertising! I once had a Camry, and after picking it up from service I discovered that the service dep't had put the dealership's license plate cover on my car! I was just at a dealership over the weekend, and they told me that in NYS police are handing out tickets to cars with license plate covers, because it covers up the "Empire State" logo on the plate. That is ridiculous, but you can't fight the governor on that one! The dealership took a loss, because they had just received a large order of license plate covers that they cannot install on their new cars as a result!

| Maxmom: I discarded the plastic holder and just put the license plate on by itself, which I feel looks great. With the two screws really tight, the bottom of the plate is held snugly against the two rubber bumpers on the liftgate so that I don't have any clanging noise. I haven't taken the time yet, but I want to find replacements for the two sheet metal screws that will have a little more class. | |

You've answered my question! My liftgate doesn't have rubber bumpers for the bottom two corners. I thought something must be missing for there to be no support for the bottom of the plate. Thanks so much for your reply. |

I noticed that the pictures you posted within this thread you have the splashguards installed. Are these the 'official' Mopar guards? I called the service dept. of the dealer where I got my Pacifica, and they don't stock them; told me I'd have to order them (I was a bit surprised that he didn't have even one pair in stock...he didn't even know the part numbers; I had to feed them to him from another dealer's website). They only come in two colors: black and grey, but he said they're paintable. That makes me a little nervous because I'm picturing the paint chipping off over time and the guards looking bad. I'm wondering if it would look okay to just get the black ones to 'blend' in with the tires (my Pacifica is Lt. Almond, and the lower trim looks to be a dark tan/brown color). Then again, it looks like you painted yours to match the lower trim...are you happy with it, and who did the painting? Anyone else get the guards and leave them the original color? |

| I have both the front and back splashguards in black on my Lt Almond Pacifica. Hardly notice the difference in color. They do a good job of keeping the lower sides clean of mud and road dirt. I did have the dealer instal them as the rear wheels must be removed to put them on. Mopar gives a three year 36,000 mile warranty on them if dealer installed. | |

yeah they are mopar (got them when I got the pacifica) so it was installed when my pacifica rolled off the transport) they are light grey. I had them order both so I could pick the lesser of the two.... talked to an autobody shop and they dont recommend painting as it does chip no matter what they do on a Jeep they did. so I left mine the grey. it looks ok ... but in cloudy days you can tell the difference... there are two types of mudflaps from mopar. I order the more expensive molded flaps |

| I just checked, the bumper is not on the corners but located about 1/2 way down the plate from the screw holes. so you have to look up under the plate to see if you have the two small rubber bumpers. (they are round rubber mounted to the pacifica) .. | |

| Anyone using the mopar fitted cargo tray that covers the 3rd row seats when folded? I'm interested in knowing how easy it is to have this fold up the back of the 3rd row seat should you have the need to use the 3rd row seat. I'm looking for something that in general will cover the 3rd row seat, 4 seating position is most common using folded 3rd row as cargo space, but occasionally, once a week or so needing to use the 3rd row seat. I would like to get something that doesn't have to be completely removed from the vehicle in order to use the 3rd row seat. I looked into some indoor/outdoor carpet at Home Depot but these have poor backings which would shed as well as very thin. Any suggestions out there on what's available in a fitted format but yet can be flexible enough or rolled when the 3rd row seat is in use? Thanks. | |
| I found a grey cargo matt at my auto parts store that only needed about 3 inches cut from it to cover most of the cargo area. It can be rolled up and fits inside my rear cargo storage bin so that it's always available when we pick up something from the nursry. | |
