Have i got dents on me roof ??

[jamie-southend]

Hi, New to the forum so go easy on me !

Just purchased an 06 Tourneo GLX ex demo from a Ford Dealer miles away from me. Having looked out of an upstairs windows it looks like i have some dents or marks on the roof.

Can anyone tell me if they should be there ?





Cheers.

Jamie

the first picture looks like a poor repair job, things have definately gone downhill then if they are coming out of the factory like that

[MrMPuk]

If you look inside it's where the strengthening bars are spot welded in.

[AndyG]

OMG

That can't be normal surely

What about the patchy paintwork

And yes, those MK6s need all the strengthening they can get

[MrMPuk]

I think you'll find that's frost.

[AndyG]

That's alright then

Still don't think it should have left the factory like that

So you saying that this is acceptable for a new vehicle nowadays?

I've cropped the pic and improved the contrast, if it aint big enough save it to your pc and then have a look, its terrible workmanship

Thanks for the replies, i have just wizzed it round my local ( garage not boozer ) and they said spot welds....oh well what should i expect for 18K !

Also rarther than start another thread, anyone know a decent accessory shop i can get any of the following from?

Centre Console ( I have a 8 seater so huge space between seats in the front ) Needed to keep papers, diary etc in.

Kick in or electric side steps for each side door. I run a Airport Transfer business, and a steps are needed for the old`s

Thanks again

And Mark was complaining about the roof of a van who's dash is in the middle

(and don't worry about the rust on mine's as I've got dual aircon. inside and on the wheelarches )

[madmark]

thats cos the van in question was a crap heap not a transit!
rover i think most vans a badly finished look at the sprinter with the rougph evect in the body panels ,and the bit andy is talking about on the roof of the ldv ,oh and we have vauxhall moveovers at work ant they have that horrid join in the roof as well!
