I don’t follow. Exclusive trim is exactly that; more wood inserts on the door handles and the rear of the front seats. If you have exclusive trim you have to have the wood.

Seems odd, my 2015 has the exclusive trim, and has a 2" or so wide strip of wood. What year is your car?

I wonder if it is a mistake at the factory. Suggest you take it up with the dealer. What year is your car?

I think exclusive trim gets u the wood in the center armrest and side doors but i think there is extra option for wood behind front seats. Unless u get designo which will include it. I dont mind paying extra to get it but just wondering if anyone else has encountered this question.

The rear wood is part of the exclusive trim but I seem to recall that there was some conditon requirement related to designo wood (myrtle sunburst or something like that). To me this looks like a build error as well.

If so, that is good because you should be able to get it for free...

Edit: i just checked the 2014 DOG, the only thing with designo woods (myrtle sunburst and metallised ash wood trim) is that the exclusive trim package was included (option 735).

Above is from a MY2015 DOG. It is internally inconsistent, and also appears not to have been followed in my case, because I have 731 trim (burl) but still have the seatback wood. I guess you would need a 2014 dealer order guide and to check that vs your trim type.

You had an early MY15 DOG. I think this text is a leftover from MY14. It maybe the case that the rear wood became standard after people complained too much to pay from the trim and not get all the pieces. Our MY15 also had the front seat rear wood as well.

Not sure how much the trim pieces cost but you call the dealer for new ones or just check Ebay for used. I didn't see any trim but you could just grab a couple of complete seat backs with the wood included. The trim just snaps on/off.

Good luck!
