Arguing with a body shop over repairs to my STI7 after I was rear-ended a few weeks ago. The carpet in the boot will not sit flat and I suspect more damage than they have fixed. Anyone know an easy way to measure if it's all as it should be without me accepting the car and getting the dealer to take a look?

Cheers

could just be the board covering the spare wheel well under the carpet is not located on the lugs to ensure it sits flat....

The body shop will use a special tool they have to adjust the back panel to make the carpet fit - a bloody big sledge hammer and a block of wood!
