Configurator and leather

Has anyone noticed that in the new configurator, when you're looking at the first panel for Interior, the one with the side view of the seats, that the interior trim panel is falling off the dash? But maybe it's just my computer.

I also wondered if someone could please confirm, for the new LCI, whether the upper dash is leather, in the extended leather option. I know that it's leather with the full leather option, but I have seen several complaints that the dash is sensatec with extended leather.

I can understand that the lower dash is sensatec with extended leather, but in the configurator, with extended leather, the upper dash has stitching and looks like it is leather, but I can't tell for sure.

Sorry if this has been covered; I have searched but haven't been able to find the combination of keywords that would yield an answer.

If you’re wanting leather dash, you’ll need the full merino option. Extended will not give you leather dashboard.

Extended leather is sensatec on upper dash, window lining on doors and plastic on lower dash. Difficult to spot the difference on the configuraor.

Need full leather for real leather on the upper and lower dash, as well as on the window lining on doors

i definitely struggled with the added cost thinking it wouldn't be noticed but im glad the vehicle i went with had the full leather. makes a huge difference IMO. especially when you have 2 tone leather vice all black etc. definitely worth the added cost IMO.

I agree with Maverik. Extended leather is a must

I believe Maverik is acknowledging the Full Merino is a must...with which I completely agree.
