Coupe Assembly Leftover

So, I had dropped some change by the seat rail and was trying to finagle the coins out when I pulled this out ...Nice and sharp razorblade !Gee ... I wonder how I can use this ...

Well, unfortunately you're not the first. I had the exact same type of razorblade under my rear seat (when installing my stereo I found it). I figured mine was a one-time deal, as anything can accidentally be left in the car during manufacture. I guess this is a bit more common. Maybe others should watch out when working in their cars. Good thing you weren't cut going after your coins!

haha, you guys should hear some of the stories dealers haev about finding random things in cars. I remmember one day when I was at the local chevy dealer, just hanging out with my uncle and a few of his friends, it was mentioned by one of the techs that they once found a nut taped to the inside of a fender in an impala. Not only that but apparently whoever left it left a note in paint as well.. "how long did it take you to find this rattle?".

Whether it was true or not I dunno, but its still funny. They also mentioned finding screwdivers and ratchets all the time :P

My dad sells a lot of ATVs and scooters as well.. youd be amazed how many screwdrivers he's gotten free with the fourwheelers .

I'm sure that there are lots of things that get left in cars during assembly. It just worries me that the Nissan assembly plant would leave something this dangerous for some unsuspecting customer to injure themselves on...

It could have been left during the dealer new car prep and not the factory.

Possibly, but since mine was under the rear seat, I highly doubt it. I can imagine any reason why the dealer would be removing the back seat. And if we had essentially the same razor (I know, you can buy those anywhere), they were both probably left at the assembly plant. Fact is, everyone should be careful when going through there new car as you never know what may be left in hiding for you.

I'm a lot attendant at the local nissan dealership, and I can tell you exactly what that razor blade is used for. You know the MSRP stickers on the windows of new cars? We use those blades to take the glue off.

In fact, all of the departments have a large supply of those blades, they are pretty handy. So it could've came from anywhere!

[08coupedriver]

thats exactly wat its used for. They use it to take the Stickers off your car including the MSRP

they might have just left it in your car by mistake

Do you guys use the razor blades for removed the MSRP numbers from under the rear seats? Would make sense if it was found under the floormats, or in the seats, but under the rear seat? That's a factory issue

That's what I was thinking. I threw it out right away, but I seriously found it under the rear seat. Why would it be there? I'm not completely mental. I didn't think much of it since I thought I was the only one, but I guess I'm not alone...

Ohh no... Emo factory workers.

Are all coupes assembled in Tennessee? Maybe we have an issue here.

In my case it could have been from removing the sticker since it was by the driver-side window .... but I'm starting to wonder. Maybe I'll check with the dealer.

Was it actually under the rear seat where you had to remove the rear seat to get to it or had was it where your change had fallen? Isn't there plastic protective coverings and such in the interior of a new vehicle that has to be removed when it comes from the factory?

It was actually under the rear seat. There would have been no way for it to get there without removing the back seat bottom (unless your goal was to slide it under there I guess). I found it when I was gutting my car to install sound deadener. If anyone would've just accidentally dropped it, it would've ended up on the seat or the floor.
