Did you get this sorted? The car should surely be under paint warranty?

The paint started to flake on mine where the rear quarter panel weld is (top right hand corner of the boot opening). Fixed temporarily with touch up paint, but it'll be getting sorted before the winter!

I have the same problem next to driver side rear window, bottom right corner. But its only the laquer that has peeled off. I've been told its a rear window out job and it will cost a bit as the rear windows are bonded in and will require cutting out. Been advised to just put some clear nail varnish over it.

if your rear windows open there not bonded

Ita a cupra so no rear opening windows = bonded in windows.

[bhoyo!!]

No, only 3 year paint warranty mate, I tryed.

I thought Paint warranty was about 7 years?

 

[DIFT]

I got told 6 year, and mine is getting resprayed on both doors.

I've just noticed a small patch of bare metal at the bottom of the drivers door window seal What's the best way to fix this? Touch-up pen?

 

[DIFT]

Ive still to get mine done at the dealers (as the spray guy was away before christmas), but mine shall be going in soon.

I would try with your dealer again, or try another. Paint should not come off a 4 year old car to leave bare metal.

My dealer had the SEAT/Audi paint specialist to have a look at mine, and it turns out I have very little--->no primer on my doors!

If I am getting mine done under warranty, I don't see why you can't.

Mine has no paint on the thin edge of the door on that thin bit of metal. I think I may add this to the list of chipped bits I want fixing, grrr!

The laquer is peeling off behind the back door window on mine - did anyone try the clear nail varnish trick?

my rear windows open.

 

[Aimez]

Mine don't, I'm glad people always leave them open!

 

[kriso]

The newer ones open, the older ones don't

must be on the later models then now you put it like that i wish i didnt but i dont really take back seat passangers so it dont matter to much,i wonder if the alarm would sound if they stayed open.
