Oh this is interesting, never thought they would change something like that. Oh my MK6 I eventually ditched the liner because some rodent tore it to shred and replacement was like $250 or something. It made a lot of underhood noise a lot more obvious(turbo noise, for example). I am curious how a 7.5 compares to a 7 since 7 has liner....
So far, the bean counters' hit list has included: hood liners, felt lining in the glove box, AC in the glove box, glove box lock, chrome trim on window switches, backlighting in the overhead panel, battery insulation - am I missing anything? I really fear for the Golf 8, these guys are just cutting super trivial stuff now, but on an all-new platform, they may go hog wild.
These things concern me too.
Hopefully it's simply late run decontenting on the MK7.5 and not an indication of the MK8 lacking the little niceties that add up to a nicer impression of the car.

In another thread, someone (sorry forget the thread and poster, ill try and find it again) said that after about 3 years from the first release, they start doing cost saving measures as they focus on the next generation. Kinda makes sense looking at all the changes starting with MY17.
First year is always not the best but any product towards the end of life cycle is not the best either. Once the product is stabilized, most OEM's want a certain percentage of cost reduction every year even on a safety component.
^^^ i think hes talking about the dome lights in front?? on my mk5 it had tiny lights so you could easily see buttons. not sure if mk7s ever had this, i still struggle to locate them on my mk7.5
