The garage replaced my front trunk floor after taking out the AC. I have no experience with this so can anyone tell me if this is an OK job? After what they did with the inner firewall I don't trust it anymore.

Since I don't have a lift , it's difficult to make pictures. They put so much tar on that it's practically impossible to see the welds. It took me hours to remove all the metal splinters that were scattered all over the trunk . I had to remove the headlights to clean out the area underneath. The sealer is full of metal particles that I can't remove. It was a nightmare.

The sealer is full of metal particles that I can't remove. It was a nightmare. Sorry but that to me is terrible workmanship and pure laziness. Modern seam sealants and undercoating should not be caked on, they should be installed in a workman like manner keeping the thickness to a minimum. Very often when it is globed on thickly as it dries it will crack and eventually fail (fall off) Lazy because there are products made that can be sprayed on before welding that does not allow "weld spatter" to stick. Spray it on and when done the spatter simply whipes off. I am sorry for your troubles. |
