18' Lug Nuts and other things... XC90 2004

Just took delivery of my XC 90. Wondering about the lug nuts on the 18" tires. Seems kind of weird that on a nice alloy rim I would have plain lugs with some sort of whiteish coating. Is that what others have experienced?

What is up with that luggage cover? Talk about a pain to get in and out of the vehicle, and what do you do with it when you want to use the third row?

Oil dipstick is in a tight spot. Burned my hand squeazing it between the upper hose and the metal frame around the radiator to get to it. Anyone else experience that or find a fix? Just odd to have a design flaw in something that should be regularly accessed in the engine compartment.

Other than that, what a great vehicle! You can just tell that it is put togehter solid. Plastic moldings seem sturdy. I am very hopeful that this car will be a solid mode of family transportation for many years to come.

Thanks

    working in the parts department the lug nuts are one of the biggest little complaints. on the older cars (pre-2004) they did have a chrome replacment for when the begin to rust. They have not come out with chrome for the 2004- up yet i have been told in the next few months they will be available but i've been told that for about 8 months now.

      ok actually i just went back to work after my 2 week vacation and found out they released the lug nuts in chrome. The part number is 30660745 for a pack of 10. If you complain yours look like crap and their rusting they will probably warranty it we usally do

        Thanks for the info. They have not started to rust yet, but if and when they do I will definitely complain. It is hard to believe that they would take a $45,000 vehicle, where the engineers have thought about everything else, and put shottly looking lug nuts on good looking wheels.
