Bellows tag

[kenseaton]

I've seen mention of manufacturing tags on the bellows to show build date etc - but there's no trace on my van.
It's a 2024 6.1 Coast bought in France as one of the last batch late last year.
The bellows seems to fold in without a problem (touch wood!!) with a couple of strong plastic supports pulling it all in... the only annoying area is the front section that fills the escape hatch and blocks the sliding panel.
So, where should I look for this tag?

Tag is cable tied to front zip.

The latest 06S bellows are easy to spot, they have tapped seems on the front corners.

The tag is usually on the inside but can be removed by a dealer at PDI. For the newer bellows, all 6.1, you have no need for the exterior bands and chat on here is they can do more damage.

Ref your belows the question is more “do they leak”. If no. Great. If yes, you are under warranty, you can get them changed for the new ones for free.

The hatch is the same for all. We leave ours open till the roof is half down and then half close, tucking in as it comes down. Then when closed it slides in fine.

I’ll go up to the garage later and check for taped seams but there was nothing on the inside.
I’d be very surprised if it was removed at PDI as that seemed cursory… the salesman (who was excellent) couldn’t get the roof open when we went for the van on Christmas Eve. He succeeded in the end but nearly had an accident in his trews with the effort!
Then, as he was showing us the command console it packed up altogether…
Last straw (as of now, at least) the piezo sparker didn’t work on our first trip away. Loose wire, which I’ll let CA Riviera fix
