Someone threw a lit firecracker in...Part 2!

Ok, so many of you read and responded to my first thread about the fireworks someone lit and threw into my car. Well after a month of waiting for the parts to arrive at the dealership they took my baby for 2 days and proceeded, I mean, attempted to fix it.

The dealership botched it horribly! Some parts look like they attacked it with a screwdriver (mostly the soft plastic parts), the cloth pieces on the seats weren't even installed correctly.

The front passenger seat wasn't fully installed, the rear seat cloth wasn't put on right, a good sized piece of material came out of the seatbelt hole.

The left rear plastic panel wasn't installed right, if you push on it the thing gives and you can see the metal body.

I tried to use my sagging drivers side sun visor only to have it fall off and see the metal parts on the roof are scraped up and bent, as well as the plastic cover on the hinge on both sides were scratched up and had stress marks from being bent up.

The carpet isn't tucked in by the fuel door switch, in fact some of the carpet goes over the switch area.

My plastic door sill covers that are supposed to be securely clipped on are loose and fall off. The also damaged the metal part of the door sill, I have 3 dents and a scratch. Thankfully the ins. adj. had pictures of the area right before they did the work so they can't say I did it.

They also damaged the dome light trim, part of my headliner on the front drivers side above the door pillar is in wrong, and the right rear area the plastic panels are not installed right.

When I tried to drive it home the airbag light stayed lit. They forgot to plug in one of the sensors so I had to do that myself, and they didn't secure the cables properly.

Upon closer inspection I found more areas that were missed and insurance will cover that (drivers side factory floor mat, dash, radio & HVAC control bevels, cargo cover, drivers side headrest all have damage still, as well as the insulation on the inside of the firewall.)

The dealership is responsible for the damages and improper install thanks to them. My insurance is going to take care of the rest of the fire damage that was missed.

I do have one thing over the dealership, the check from the Ins. is a two party and I'm not signing until they complete the work they were paid to do and replace parts they damaged. Anyways, here are some of the pics.
