dazr32 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i am having a nightmare the autoglass fitter has come today and has not lined the screen up properely when he has installed it, so it looks like it is on the piss when looked at from directly behind the car,but thats not all he has only gone and trimmed the seal that sits round the window to try and hide the fact that screen is on the piss and to add insult to injury he has scratched the tailgate where he has cut the seal. admittedly it is under the seal and could probably sort it out with a touch in stick as it is under the seal but it is not the point. i am kicking myself cos i gave the lad the benefit of the doubt thinking that it would do my head in if someone was sat on my shoulder as i was trying to do a job, but now i am sorry i didnt. i have been on the phone to the branch manager and he is coming tomorrow morning to asses the damage. it is not finished their though because i pulled the car out of the garage when i got back off holiday to double check there was no more damage to it such as scratches and it was fine,i have pulled it out of the garage today and there are a number of vertical scratches down the drivers side rear quarter preceeded by what looked like some black sealant, i pulled the fitter about it and he reckoned he didnt know anything about it, but he had rested the inner covers for the tailgate on the side right by the scratches. my guess is he has picked the trims up and they have fallen down the side scratching the car. talk about a nightmare, at the very least the screen needs replacing and then there are the other issues.i am self emplyed now but i used to service aircraft so i have a fairly critical eye for things such as shut lines/trims/scratches etc. i have tried to polish the scratches out and they are nearly invisible but that is only cos i cant leave things like that alone i should kick off about them really though i am more concerned about the piss poor install of the screen . any advice people.

dazr32 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i know what you mean hotdog i just wish now that i had been on his case , the manager is going to get it tomorrow though as it is a very p**s poor attempt at fitting a relatively simple screen,it is not as if it was a door glass or front screen.
