I reported it on the same day I took delivery, and the dealer is going to look at it on Tuesday. I doubt the dealer will aviode liability, but I wonder how it will be dealt with... should I expect a touch up or a full resprayed tailgate ??? Your thoughts please....
I would let them try to touch it up and then if you don't like the result, say it's not good enough - it will probably be fine. I think there are issues with a full respray re. colour matching and it not being the same process as during manufacture - not sure on this though.
