Thread: GULLWING WINDOW ATROCITY

After posting all the questions about installing my window. I decide I'll get the trim out and just take it to a automotive windscreen place to fit. They look at it and agree it shouldn't be a problem and cost about $100. 3 hours later I get a phone calling from them saying that the new Gullwing window doesn't quite fit properly into the hole and that it is too big, but they are able to trim the window slightly and if I give my consent to do so. I say no worries as long as it looks good and your confident it will fix the problem. When I go in to pick up the car, what was laid before me was absolutely unacceptable.

Firstly there is sickaflex spilling out from the sides of the frame everywhere, on one side of the window I can fit my fingertips behind the window frame as it sits about 10mm away from the panel and the otherside about 5mm and it looks like dog balls. From inside the car I see that they haven't trimmed the window frame but they actually cut the panel of the body to make the window fit. Too make it worse they cut it at least 10mm too big at both top corners so it's just filled with sickaflex and not much contact between the frame and the body. The conversation that followed is not fit to print.

I spoke to the window supplier and he can't understand what would have went wrong as the window should fit and this is the first one that they have heard of have a problem. He spoke to Mulgo and same thing. They are being more then helpful at trying to fix this situation but we suspect something has happened at the installers end.

We are still in talks about how to fix this problem, but anybody have any idea on what could have gone wrong, or did the installers just **** up big time????

Cheers.

Unfortunatley, that's why if you want something done these days you have to do it yourself. It doesn't seem to matter in what field it is, there doesn't seem to be a lot of dedication out there.
