Rear Spoiler / Third Brake Light

(1/5) > >>

SteveP:
Evening all,

Just wondered if anyone else has had problems with water ingress on the third brake light or a loose rear spoiler?

The story so far, mine was filling up with water so has been at my dealers bodyshop since monday, finally ready to collect tonight only to find they had issues with the replacement had to order a new spoiler as well due to problems while un-bonding the original.

When I arrived they had the car in the workshop (as requested so I could check it in the light) and found the spoiler was now lose and wobbly and the car covered in swirl marks  :sad: :sad: :sad:

I refused to take the car back so now I am stuck the 1.9TDI Golf again until Monday when they can sort me something more appropriate from the sales demo fleet.

I normally would recommend my dealer but of this occasion they has been absolutely shocking  :mad:  :fighting:

Greeners:
It's more likely their bodyshop have let them down Steve!

I have the same issue and was told they have to cut the spoiler of with a cheese wire type tool  :surprised: At that point I decided to leave my moist brake light alone!! 

Sorry to hear about your bad service though mate  :fighting: Better be sorted for Friday  :wink:

Cr*p I forget about that while I was having words with them, right I will emailing dealer principal now to say it must be ready for Thursday night at the lastest   :chicken:

Trouble was with mine it was full of water or I would have just left it :surprised:

Hurdy:
Sorry to hear about the problems Steve :sad:

Tagnut had his done for condensation issues in his high level brake light and had it fixed with no real issues. Mine gets a little condensation in every now and then too, but I'm not too worried as long as it doesn't become too excessive like yours seems to have done. I do tend to look at peoples rear lights now too :rolleye:
