As some will know, my Focus had an altercation with a truck about 18 months ago. Basically wiped the left hand side of the car off.
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...ighlight=truck Anyhow, AAMI fixed it, but a few weeks ago I noticed a small lump had developed on the divers door...no more than 3mm. Rust I thought!! Not happy Jan! AAMI has a lifetime warranty on repairs, so called them. Long story short.....they found 9 different problems with the repairs including welding around the hatch area, poor paint, overspray, dodgy bodywork etc etc etc. (It was a rivet I could see, not rust) So they are fixing the lot under warranty. $3000 of further repairs, brand new Driver's door and two and a half weeks off the road. Hats off to AAMI though. They could have just sanded and resprayed the door and I wouldn't have been the wiser. Instead they've identified and are fixing problems I couldn't see  Here's my car in the shop now The original panel beater has been sacked by AAMI and has subsequently gone out of business
