Hi all. I'm after sone advice. i had a rear diffuser fitted to my car about 3 months by a bodyshop. It has now come off compleatly. Has anyone else had this problem with the said item.

 

are you sure it was mounted in the right place? the ones ive seen from the states are mounted to the top of the rear windscreen...

 

Looks like they tried to bond it on and not used any primer on the diffuser for the glue to stick to. I have a spare diffuser if you are looking for another one?

 

Looks like it was in the right place going by the shape of it, window would be to flat and low down.
I take it you still have it and someone hasnt just ripped it off?
Get some tiger seal that will do it. And a moan to the bodyshop wouldnt hurt.

 

You have a pm fella

 

I have part of it cuz it came off as i was driving along. Bodyshop wont pay for a new diffuser as the say they put it on properly !
This is the underside of the diffuser

 

Looks like a complete lack of adhesion to the diffuser to me - I would suggest, as somebody commented on earlier, that they didn't use any primer.

You have a very good case against the body shop - even if they did say that they did the job properly - very obviously they didn't. Fitting that properly wouldn't involve the use of double sided sticky tape!

Go back to them and stand your ground a bit more - good luck.

Ask them what they used and what procedure they followed.

 

It looks like it wasn't keyed up and no adhesive primer used

It's common to use double sided tape around the edge to hold it in place. Did the car move or get wet in the 24 hours of bonding ?

 

They had the car in to do other work as well. total of 5 days so i wouldnt think it moved or got wet.

 

The latest on my diffuser is. The garage in Kidderminster that did the work is now denyiny all knowlede of doing the work !

 

How did you pay?

Take them to County Court, you have a good case, usually the CC letter shakes them up, but if/when you win, THEY pay costs.
