So the fact that the owner couldn't drive, was down to the manufacturer. They did have a driving licence I presume, maybe they need an eye test.Had a vehicle dropped off that had been reversed into a post at a fair speed.
Converted the before to the after - took a couple of days and a good scrapyard find !
Had a mild smile when I found the reversing camera on the rear door handle was still intact - shame no one looked at it!
ALSO - get this - owner said what a bad design it was as if the dogs had been in the back they would have been showered in glass!

Sweet, fixed a write off by replacing the boot door. Imagine the damage to any other car after this accident.Had a vehicle dropped off that had been reversed into a post at a fair speed.

I swapped boot doors the same way recently but was wondering if it would have been easier to realign it by removing the torx bolts instead. Maybe next time.Took hinges off car, 13mm hex IIRC. Had to use a saw blade to cut the catch end staple as it was pulled tight and the lock catch damaged. Pleased with the repair. Yes, as you say, a write off and another one to the scrappers. Have just rescued 2 more, see above. Well, maybe rescued, we'll see !!
