You don't want to do a silly thing like that, the EAS is one of the best things about the late model RRC, that and the heater in a softie is way better than a hard dash.

Is It(has his finges crossed) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Afriad not (not ubless something else expensive goes wrong) and given that our TDi is in her garage with no sills and no boot floor at the moment I'd say there would be a queue is it was.

If you look at a late model RRC check the boot floor, it appears they rust worse than ealry ones.  Check the rear door pillar above the wheel, all ours suffered here, then check the sills.  Later RRC have an open sill trim which seems to create rust worse than the early closed sill trim, though both are a rust trap.

Any water leaks into the car seem to cause silsl to rot out, check inside the drian holes for signs of a build up of mud or silt.  I've seen bad rust in front of ther A post on newish cars and leaks form rusted out bonnet hinges that soak the floors.

Also check the doors for rust around the hinges and the back edges.  Later models don't seem as rustproof.
