rusty tailgate (again)!

hi all, got a mk1 vrs estate 3 weeks ago and although noticed the rust on the tailgate, but i accepted this!! ( allowing me some money to get it sorted obviously!) after ordering a touch up pen, thought i'd pop into skoda dealer in worcester (startins at powick) to ask their opinon, first of all they said it looked like the glass had been replaced and fitted too low , which i didnt accept as it has genuine purchase sticker on it and all skoda etchings and marks! then they looked and said they would take pics to forward to skoda uk , but warned me they would do a paint thickness test! so after getting home had little think and realised they still have an electronic paint checker at work, so got hold of it and checked the paint and was relieved to find the whole car was .0055"-006" about 135 microns if i remember right

so we will see what they say to wriggle out of it?? will keep you updated

just like to say what a great informative forum this is!! :p

cheers craig
