they wont fix it, you will have to pay.

so why would vauxhall fix it for me? The body warranty was only 6 years and my car is now 9 years old. Surely they have no obligation on my car anymore?

the way they fix it is to drill the end of the cracks round to stop the crack spreading and then weld up the bit between before re-spraying, tis a bitch cos if the crack goes round the piller to the quarter panel ya will need to blow this all over to match the paint,

mines cracked :look:

Yeah, that goes without saying but there is that 1% chance you might get a decent enough person at Vauxhall (very unlikely)

quick look on parkers suggests its a 6 year body warranty.

Vauxhall offer to do this under a 10 year warranty.

I'm pretty sure of this.

my gsi isnt cracked

cut out, weld in a plate, and then respray I think

:boggle:

Whats the solution to cracked b pillars? Weld over and respray? Whats the cost of that?

A mates T plate 1.0ltr has cracked horribly and thats standard!

i have know a few of my mates cars have cracked, and i went to look at mine, and its started to crack, very slightly:(

mine ain't cracked yet, just wondering if when i lower it, its gonna start...

only solution is a full cage ;)

its a common fault on all corsa b's, every one we've worked on, we've had to weld them up.

lowered or not though, 3-doors will suffer from cracked b-pillars, but as demo says, lowering it will produce more stress so they will go quicker than with standard suspension/wheels

i would assume so as lowering a car puts more stress on the shell due to the harder ride

is this more common on corsa's that are lowered?
