Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Is it a warrant requirement to have the headliner & pillar trims in the car for a WoF? I've pulled mine to be recovered and have noticed my ticket expires on Thursday. Necessary to throw them back in or not likely to be a problem? Ta!

slybma 38 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 There is no legal requirement for them unless it covers an airbag, so if you don't have curtain airbags then you don't need them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NVADER 54 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 I'd say it depends on your inspector. Some of them (especially VTNZ) will kick up a fuss about it being modified from stock and they can also fail it if there are things that could potentially cause harm if not covered. But as Slybma said, there's no set standard so you can argue it if they cause a fuss.http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof/general/vehicle-interior/interior-impact Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr2low 57 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 I'd just take it for it's wof if it fails on that then asking as you get them recovered and installed in the 28 days you can take it back show them and they'll pass it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Am taking it to my local garage, they're usually pretty good. Don't really have time to mess around with a recheck so I'll put them back in to be safe. They're stripped back to the fibreglass backing so I can't imagine they'll have an issue, unless aesthetics are a safety requirement now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted February 20, 2014 It shouldn't be an issue if you aren't going to VTNZ. Just make sure the seatbelt anchor bolts are done up tight if you've had to remove the B pillar trim. My last WoF went through fine with no hoodlining, A B and C pillar trims, map reading lights and sunroof controls. Remember, you will still need drivers side sun visor.
