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, | |

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

they'll only do it if 1: the car hasnt been modified 2: the car hasnt been in an accident (they'll check it on your chassis number) 3: they think of other lame excuse for their cock up :lol: | |

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

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? |
