Daston Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi guys Some of you may remember that I had a new passanger door fitted this time last year when some old chap drove into me in a car park. Well was clearing out the garage and the light caught the top of the door (where it meets the front wing) and its all jagged (like its been crimped). Also it looks as if it is miles out of line with the wing and the bonet, on closer inspection there apears to be a bit of rubber in there (not sure if this is stock). Any ideas on where I stand as it has been a long time or if this looks normal. Drivers side Pasanger side If this isnt right then I do feel cheated as the place I took it to was very high profile and cost the old chap a small fortune (he chose to go private) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 If it was done by a profesional they should guarantee the work for 5 years against any corrosion, as for poor fitting, not sure where you stand. Try CAB and see what they say. It looks like they have bent it when they were fitting it, probably closed the door before it was aligned up, thought you would not notice! Good luck with the outcome, don't let them win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Its fairly hard to tell from the pictures, i dont think it looks too bad but obviously you can see it in person, the rubber bit is stock btw, here's a pic of mine see if it helps. Give us a shout if you want anymore taking! http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6645/p1010085gx7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 ah mine is just on the one thats what made me think it was wrong. Can you slide yours with your hand or is it stuck in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 the repair shop probably did not change the door. some just change the outer skin (which is crimped on!) chances are that they have not done it properly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
