JESUS!!
I can't believe that you had to put right what the damn manufacturers ought to have done in the first place. Its a bit like this, if you buy Rolex you expect a certain level of quality and 9 times out of ten you get everything perfectly as youwould expect. I know that VW might not be the Rolex of cars but £20 odd grand is a lot of money for a car and you expect everything to be perfect!!
Its a good job your a handy man...some of us are just too plain scared or crap to try out some of the things you have done. I think your right Doc, there isn't enough attention to detail anymore. They just seem to knock them out as quick as they can and hope that some of the faults and imperfections will go unnoticed by buyers like us. I guess the law of averages will dictate that its worth the manufacturer's letting some dud one's pass through hoping that only a few will come back rejected by the customer!
I guess I will have to see if they can make the adjustments to the door enough that it looks better but I accept it may not be perfect. And if they can't do anything for any reason..well..like you say better to live with it if it ain't that bad! I also don't want the burden of selling it in the future and for some smart alek to come along and spot the misalignment and blame it on an accident repair job....when that is not the case. Having said that I'm usually very meticulous when inspecting cars and I didn't spot this misalignment until two weeks later!
