Still reeling from a visit to a Citroen garage yesterday...
A small (2cm) bit of plastic has fallen out (broken) of the housing for the sun-roof blind in my Picasso. Apparently you can't just order a replacement widget, but you have to order a whole new blind + housing at about £300!
To be fair the dealer was aghast, and if the worst comes to the worst it will be a warranty item, but honestly! He is contacting CUK to try and get round this.
(PS Blind still works OK but rattles when closed with plastic widget missing)
Is it the most expensive plastic widget on a car?

I once had a clip came off a fuel line on a £15000 car, resulting in the fuel line chafing and leaking.
Several minutes later on the M6, I had no £15000 car, as it was burning furiously.
I was told the fuel line clip cost about 75p, but on the same basis as your sunroof blind, it cost about £15000....

I bet two things
If this was a non warranty fix the customer would pay £300
As it is a warranty fix, CUK will come up with a 75p widget.

Rebecca,
Meantime, maybe a bit of Blu Tack will stop the rattle?

You could potentially test this theory. If it becomes a claim, surreptisiously mark the blind and check it when it comes back
Oooh and let us know !
