Rapid interior wear is often caused by heat, dust, humidity, vibration, and heavy use, which are common in Pakistani conditions.

Common Causes:

Seats – Leather o r fabric can crack, fade, o r tear due to sun exposure and rough usage.

Door panels and trims – Loose fasteners, vibration, and dust lead to rattling o r squeaks.

Switches and controls – Dust and moisture can cause malfunction o r stiffness.

What to Do:

Use sunshades and seat covers to protect seats from UV damage.

Tighten screws and fasteners on door panels and trims to reduce noise.

Clean and lubricate switches and moving components.

Regularly vacuum and wipe interior surfaces to remove dust and moisture.
