Bought this car new a month ago in Maryland. Drove up from Virginia to get it, for reference I live 4 hours away
the car had two issues that I did not realize when I got home with it as I asked the dealer DO NOT wash it. There were scratches on the windshield and the passenger door handle has a little Knick in it as you see from the pictures. Car was covered in 1āof pollen the day I went to pickup so did not notice these things until I got home to wash it myself
dealer has been dragging their feet big time on trying to help me but theyāve offered to schedule someone to replace my windshield locally but said for paint repair Iād have to bring it back to them.... putting 800 miles on the car round trip for something so small seems ridiculous as it could potentially get more damage from the drive itself (rock chips etc) not happy about having to get this repaired but Iām worried it could lead to clear coat failure on the entire door handle since it looks like the paint rolled
for anyone with paint/body experience, could this be painted separately or would they end up having to blend the door? Really trying to avoid that situation as Iām too OCD and know paint is never a 100% match. Had a really bad experience with my 2017 stingray getting a fender repaired where they blended the front bumper and driver door, went to pick the car up and it was 3 shades darker on areas resprayed than the rest of the car. After complaining they offered to respray and did a MUCH better job.
