so the rubber has worn away at the paint ?, perhaps doors are pulled in to tightly on the latch ?, or are they left to get dirt ingrained into them ?

Anyway not good that, hope you get it sorted to a satisfactory manner

You say you bought the car new!?

Was it an import or a UK model?

The reason I am asking is that there was some controversy over VW's being left at ports for up to 18 months (salt + water = not good!) and then being sold on as newly registered cars via import into the UK!
