Mike Ive been looking for a solution for the same issue on my Stepway, am I right in thinking that you folded the flap of plastic trim underneath the main body of the tunnel or did you cut it off completely as it looks like this from the picture.

Such a stupid design, can't understand why it's never been changed.

 

I too have found this to be a problem on occasions, good tip.

 

A foot rest to the left of the clutch pedal would be nice as well!

Sorry for the delay I have been a bit busy, As stated I cut into the plastic not through it and folded the annoying bit back under the transmission cover so it could be folded back if required. Still very happy with this simple mod and a bit safer too.

 

2020 comfort Stepway. I had the same issue with my left foot catching on plastic cover. I felt it was dangerous and reported to garage.
I thought that a self tapping screw with washer was used, it would pull the plastic closer to the metal body and give more clearance without the risk of my foot fouling again. This worked perfect ,it was a job I had considered myself but decided to let the dealer do it and I avoided any risk of drilling through a cable or brake pipe on the underside.
I am surprised after such a common fault and I still believe could have been a safety issue , that Dacia does not listen to comments and faults to rectify this at production level.
