viking Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 just ordered a new o/s front door bottom from paddocks as the paint sprayer said the one i had wasn't worth painting, i had it delivered to him and it got there today at diner time, he called me to say the top of it wasn't bonded, i called him to see what he was on about, he said at the top of the door where the skin meets the frome it wasnt stuck together and that it should be,he said he could bond it but it just shouldn't be like that, i rang paddocks and told the bloke who answered and he went away for 10 mins and come back and said he had been speaking to the parts manager and he had said there all like that, none of them are bonded and never have been and that its the capping that holds it together, so i rang the painter back and told him, he said what a load of ****, so i just told him to bond it, my question is have paddocks bent me over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
