smartmove Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Had someone open their car door on my rear wing at the weekend, going through insurance and my car was taken away on Monday to be repaired. Had a call to say I should get it back next week but they are waiting for the new rear window to come in!!!!! Looks like to paint they have to remove the rear window. Sounds like the bodyshop just milking the 3rd parties insurance company but now I kind of wished I'd just got dentmaster to push the dent out and paid for it myself Quote
M13KYF Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 depeneding where it was, if it was over the rear wheels the, the body is double skinned and dent guys wouldn't of been able to do anything anyway Quote
smartmove Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 Ah ok, it was over the rear wheels, makes me feel better that I decided to go through there insurance then! Thanks Quote
marzman Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 You're lucky they owned up to it... imagine if you hadn't been there and they'd have just driven off... Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Ding in the rear wing and they have removed the window???? If it was a door ding it cant have been that deep.. Simple fill and respray for that area..... I think they are taking the p155.. No wonder premiums are so high! Good job your not paying the bill... Quote

Yeh, I definetely think they're going over the top with the work. As long as it comes back as new I'll be happy, just made me feel a little nervous the fact they're taking the window out! Dent wasnt even that deep but it was the first thing I saw every time I looked at the car so had to be sorted. Quote
smartmove Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Got the car back today and can't tell there was ever a problem Very happy with the quality of the work from Pennings in Leighton Buzzard. Apparently once the small rear windows are taken out they cannot be put back in hence the new one being required. Quote
