I checked seating before blaming another pickup point. On this housing job the part is flat in its pocket, then twists as the fingers close. Our spacer issue started at the fixture; this looks different. What should maintenance compare first?
A shiny patch is a clue, not a parts order. Have maintenance compare pad condition and mounting with the specified assembly, and use an identified housing. Otherwise a slightly different moulding can join the argument unnoticed.
And whatever the answer is, put it where the next person replacing a pad will find it. A modification known only to the person who fitted it is an excellent way to buy the same investigation twice.
Tooling owner says it was temporary for an earlier housing revision and should not be in this assembly. Maintenance has restored the specified build. The pickup edits are being reviewed before the return check.
