Not again
« on: 13 October 2006, 09:15:18 »
47GBP and three months later the rear passenger door mould is screwed again. Should i take the car to vauxhall dealer and tell them to replace it? I think there is 12 month warranty with these things. I'm starting to believe that they are out of drawing spec these items thats why they interfere. Or should i just pick up a slegde hammer and redecorate the whole car. I'm so pissed off right now. >:(

Sorry to hear it. If it was done by a dealer & has warranty then definitely take it back, if not; not sure how you stand, worth a try though.

Yes parts being out of spec which mean poor quality or probably the designer didn't do a proper tolerance stack up on the interference parts and therefore he specified wider tolerances than what it sould be and there you are.
