Bubbles? Anybody?

Okay, but that discussion related to Yeti? Here in Finland the fix is repainting the panel. I know 6 cars (in helsinki area) which already have painted one or more doors. I also know that the same problem is for example in Estonia and in Sweden. Few skoda dealers and few private "bodyshop" chiefs says so that must be galvanizing / painting problem. But importer says "stone chip, no warranty". I have checked many used cars in resellers stock and every octavia has same disease. i have also checked random cars (octavia) in supermarket parking area and almost every car has bubbles Audi and Vw also have this disease but those fixed straight without any excuse.

MY15-MY17

Yes, zinc bubbles. Every octavia 3 body gets zinc "bath" before assembling and paintwork. if there are impurities in the metal zinc detaches.

Hello, And greetings from Finland. Sorry for the new topic, but i didn´t found nothing like that, and sorry for my bad english Here in Finland, we have lot of cars with one or more zinc bubble. Usually they are in front doors or in trunk lid. Skoda importer usually says "those are stone chips" even though these also have been fixed in warranty. Every dealer with whom i have talked to has acknowledged the problem but they can´t do nothing because importer says "stone chip" Have you guys noticed that problem?
