| I did this to my Sierra Estate. Cost was about �120.
At the end of the lease it was still in position at the back of the car

Well, actually I removed it and have been trying to sell it ever since.

| 1214.2 | Who owns lease car accessories?? | VOGON::KAPPLER | | Wed Sep 05 1990 17:59 | 10 |
| Which brings us to related question......
I understand that if you order things like roof-racks on a lease car,
these a written-off over the period of the lease (rather than the
anticipated life of the car). Does this mean you can keep them when you
return the car?
JK
p.s. I mean detachable things, obviously (-:

| 1214.3 | Only remove what you added | AYOV27::ISMITH | Careless lives cost talk | Wed Sep 05 1990 18:07 | 7 |
| The way I understood it was that accessories present when the car
was purchased were the property of the lease company. Otherwise
you had to return the car to its original state when you bought
it, e.g. removing anything you had fitted.

| does this mean that if you want to fit anything, suce as rear wiper,
you can go ahead and do it?

| Re -1
If I was you Mike I would, you can always remove it before you give it
back, and even if you didn't I doubt they would notice.

I believe you need written permission to add anything that involves cutting
holes in the car (including a radio aerial if you forgot to specify a radio
and antenna when ordering), and that such permission is not usually granted.

| 1214.7 | fixing a hole where the rain dont get in | SHAPES::FIDDLERM | | Thu Sep 06 1990 11:30 | 4 |
| I already have a hole (albeit with rubber bung), I only lack the wiper
(and motor and electrcs!!). Just curious really.

| 1214.8 | Fit it, don't worry | KERNEL::SHELLEYR | CSC, Basingstoke | Fri Sep 07 1990 14:08 | 8 |
| I can't see anything wrong with adding a rear wiper if the provision
is already there, because nobody would notice if you remove it when
you hand the car back.
I've fitted a high level brake light on the rear shelf of my leased
XR3i which I intend removing when I hand it back.

| 1214.9 | Tell fleet as well | VOGON::COLE | Mike, TPAG Product management, 830-6571 | Fri Sep 07 1990 17:34 | 10 |
| I have fitted towbars to all my leasemobiles - Pam D recommended that
having it fitted afterwards is a lot cheaper than the lease cost.
Golden rule is that you MUST notify fleet dept - sending a mail to fleet
tellingthem you are fitting a towbar is sufficient.
As you have then fitted the towbar, it then belongs to you; so take it
or leave it.

| 1214.10 | mind the bodywork! | YUPPY::SACKMANJ | I was dreaming of the past... | Mon Sep 10 1990 19:08 | 9 |
| I asked about fitting 'items' to one of my lease carand phoned fleet
who said phone PHH (this was a couple of years ago!). They said
anything I fitted was fine as long as the bodywork was not drilled or
modified, if it was it had to be restored to original or the attached
item left in place. So you're OK if exterior body panels are left as
is.
