Contacted my VW dealer yesterday & they said as my car has been painted the front wings would not be covered! But they did amit that the rusting is due to the inner arch liner touching on the arch lip.
Kind of admitting there is an issue!

Ignore it, where's the proof? (did you sign in agreeance to pay?)  They should be covering it all in reality... what's the point of a corrosion warranty otherwise.

I paid it. They did a good job and I only agreed a repair to my boot handle rust. In reality i got a complete new tail gate all new boot hatch mech and they honoured the original quote so i cant complain!

Yeap good on you (I mean that), I admire you paying for what you owe to the people who do the work... but the payer should really be VW; standing by their guarantee in full, sadly they are not as honorable.

I had the same work done in April, two new wings and a new bootlid. I was lucky enough that the garage I went to covered the other 50% as vw UK were also only willing to cover 50%.
So I got all in all, two new wings, new bootlid and a new bootlid badge as the last one was corroding.
It really depends on the garage and how helpful they wish to be.

Hey guys
My car is booked in for this trip for vw in Stirling to take a look.
They say they need it for half a day to check it out any advise before hand as av just got a funny feeling there going to hit me with some crap.
As even why I phoned up and booked it in the guy I spoke to was a bit rude and just well a prat to put it politely.
He asked for my Reg plate and I told him it but I said I am in the process of putting my private plate on the car.
He said no don't do that I said why will it effect the warranty (knowing it shouldn't )
An the guy was like well yea it mite.
I said how can this be possible
As I still know the Reg
Any way if the v5 capital Mrs back the plates going on
