Very 1st 2019 G63 Warranty Issue - kindof funny

On the delivery/orientation drive - sunny/nice afternoon - I reach up for the Passenger Sunvisor - "pop" - the visor holder screwed into the headliner holder pop's out and clunks to the floor.

My guy is in the back seat - his 16yr old daughter is driving since it's her Sweet 16 gift - and my guy (good friend) - "can't charge me - that warranty !"

While my guy is finishing up paperwork - visor holder in my hand - I have our tech's jump on it - FYI turns out the screw for this particular visor holder had been seriously over torqued/stripped when installed into the roof at the factory.

I wasn't the 1st to deliver a G63 - there were those guys that got theirs 2 days ahead of me - but dang I'm proud to have be the first G63 warranty claim in the US !

Keep the beat !
