Have i not got a case with my warranty with what you can see?


In all honesty the photos are very difficult to pick out, I can't see the bubbling for instance. Got anything a bit more in context?

Thanks millentubby for the advice and it was not done by scuffing the door of a step/kerb.

Here is a pic of a close up of the bubbling that has started to appear on the door.

Oh yeah that is quite bad. Very odd on a MK3, definitely worth giving Toyota a bit of grief I think!

Took my car to a Toyota dealer today and he took a few pictures and then he phoned Toyota and got a reference number so will find out next week what will happen.

I gave my local dealer a call to find out what was happening and was told that they are waiting on the area manager to visit the showroom so he can view the pictures and decide what is to happen.

Finally got a call from my local dealer today about my warranty and i was told that they have knocked it back as they are saying the rust has developed due to the door being rubbed on the underside by a kerb or step.
I thought if that was the case then why has the rust not developed from the bottom of the door instead of were the door skin has joined in the inside as you can see from my pics.
I was wondering if i still had a case to follow this up or do i just have to accept this from them.
Any help would be appreciated on what i can do next with this problem.

I'd object in writing and say the photos clearly show that is not the case if that's what you think, maybe a letter to Toyota GB too.

It's difficult because it is on an edge, I guess that was always a possibility.
