For the people with older cars, 10+ years. Where are you taking them for body work? I need some work done, a couple things installed, and no body shop will do it. I have been told it's because the shops don't want to work on cars any older than 10. My car is a 2003.
I've posted before about water intrusion around my driver side and passenger windows.
I have to get my window seals, and A pillars replaced again (oh, add in my B pillars). The body shop that originally installed them did a shit job and I still had water intrusion. More, actually.
Where does everyone take their vehicles for work like this? What kind of place? A body shop? I'm guessing a lot of people replace these things themselves. I don't think I can.
I've taken my car to different body shops. I've called others. No one wants to do the job. The place who told me they would do it if I had the window seals and pillars removed backed out. They said it's more work than they like to do. It is a body shop. The consensus from these other shops about why they don't want to work on my car is because it's older than ten years.
I was told by one body shop to take my car to a body shop that deals in vintage vehicles. I'm going to, but is this what everyone else deals with too?????
I just needed to post my pics of my Z. Before I have to start tearing her apart. I need proof that she's a nice car. Her windows are leaking and it's pissing me off. No place can make it stop. I've replaced the seals around the windows and the A pillars. I've had the seals and pillars siliconed down after they initially didn't fix the leak. I went to a third place today to see about a window adjustment but they don't think it will work. I'm at my wit's end. If I wanted to deal with issues like this I woulda bought a convertible.
