This is a similar article to the one I found when researching the XP when I was considering buying one a few years ago. Cessna stopped making the 172 XP model, also known as the "Hawk XP," primarily due to significant engine reliability issues with the Continental IO-360-K and -KB engine used...

I have a 182B. There are three sets of snaps, one on the inside of the cargo door, one across from the cargo door and the third that covers the bulk head entrance to the battery compartment. Each had material covers w matching snap patterns versus modern day interiors.
