    Cali Roof Corrosion - VW's current warranty stance?

    My 2017 Cali Beach has a dreaded bubble on the roof. Anyone know if VW are still entertaining warranty claims for this? Interestingly it shows the tape they put around the edge works - the corrosion has started in the 3mm gap where the tape joins! Let's hope there aren't any more joins further...

    Front edge of sliding door battered by chips!

    Noticed this whilst washing the van the other day. It's a 21 plate and I've had it since new so I know it's not been in contact with anything. I can only think it's sticking out into the wind enough to get battered by stones from the front wheels. Has anyone else had this problem? I presume VW...

    Rust around side door handle

    I found some rust spots & a bit of paint bubbling under the side door handle yesterday. Nothing major. Our van is Oryx White & there isn’t a touch up available for it due to it being pearlescent. The rust is under the door handle so pretty inconspicuous. My plan is to remove the handle, clean up...

    Any sprayers on here for advice please?

    The sliding door lower bracket bearing collapsed and have scraped off all the paint along the whole length that it runs on. I have fit a new bracket so that is now sorted, would it be an easy job for a professional spray painter to get in there, prep it & respray all that area.
