GULLWING WINDOW ATROCITY

I just saw this thread - was there ever a resolution - and any pics???

My 2 gullwing windows were a piece of cake to fit.

Hi mate. They basically pulled it out, refit it to a far better and more acceptable standard . I didnt make them replace the panel because the second effort turned out spot on, and the owner assured me he would do it himself. I told them if it wasn't acceptable I was going to want the panel replaced but I couldnt fault the refit and I didnt want to go through replacing a whole panel. It was obvious they screwed up and put a begginer on the job, why is beyond me. But I just can't be assed investing negative energy into those sorts of questions that wont change the outcome.

I didnt post any pictures at the time because, I think the response would have just made me more angry.

"It was obvious they screwed up and put a beginner on the job, why is beyond me."

It is always the same reason......

Pleased to hear that you got this sorted Voltron. I don't know why they put beginners onto these jobs (presumably without supervision) in the first place; I know they have to learn, but if they make a mistake, the business ends up having to do the work twice, so they don't save anything in the long run.

From this experience, I am of the opinion people just look at it as just an old Defender and treat it as such. But the chain stores like OL and ARB have actually been really good in that way, to me anyway.

I have lost count of the number of people who are surprised that the puma that I point out is new. The response is along the lines of "I didn't realise they still made those, it looks really old"

And lets hope they keep it that way;).
