Just had some good news!!
My 5 yr old 110 went in to the dealer to get the corrosion on the roof seam checked, photos were taken and I had to chase down the last 12 monthly paint inspection report from the other dealer I use, 2 weeks later I get a phone call saying they are going to fix it and will need to order parts, confused I was thinking he has got the wrong file, so I asked what parts do you need and he said LRA are replacing the whole roof so they need the roof and seals and other bits to fit, so I see this as a win, they have knocked back other claims on the corrosion warranty in the past, my rear cross-member paint faded and rusted and they said I must have spilled something to cause it, but they have come good this time, must have got them on a good day. I am pretty happy about it, had a few marks on the gutter where the roof rack attaches and my darling wife going into too low car parks has put a couple of dents and scratches in it also.
Does anyone know if replacing the roof is a big job? Should I be looking for anything in particular once finished? Knowing some of the issues I have had at dealers in the past (they forgot to bolt the middle cross member back up after replacing the clutch) I do not want the roof to blow off going up the motorway so would like to make sure it is all good.
cheers
