Title: Wing rust!
Post by: suave on December 11, 2011, 04:35:08 pm

Have just noticed the dreaded wing rust on my 05. Anyone had any luck from the dealers in paying for repair??

One or two folks have been successful but it depends on whether you modified the arches at any time (as I did). Try a Search and you should find one if not two threads here.  :happy2:

I had the passenger front wing replaced by VW free of charge, as detailed in another thread as red robin mentioned, (on phone or would have paste link here). Just need to get it assessed by them and see what they say
