Thanks, i shall go up to the dealers with it tommorow and see what they can do. I dont even seem that annoyed about it because i like car so much, i take that as a good sign.

Thanks for you help.
 
Took it up to the dealers yesterday, getting her back on friday. Have to say that the dealer was good and helpful, didnt have any courtesy cars in, but they loaned me a micra to get about in until friday.
 
My cars going in on monday to have the passenger door lock replaced.
They are also going to look at the front suspension and steering rack because when i go over uneven ground it sound like the front wheels are going to fall off.
Any one know how to adjust the window wipers???? Auto Glass replaced my windscreen on monday after a stone CHIP shattered my screen.
the guy obviously had never taken out a Grande Punto windscreen because hes wreked my car. Theres a rubber seal on the windscreen at the bottom where the wipers pop out that hes bent and twisted, a foam mount thing that hes broken and a load of plug things that hold the carpet thing at the back of the engine have gone walkabout.
Went to fiat today and they gave me a quote for parts:
7799951 x 8
51701155 x 1
and 51751435 x 1
It only came to £14.25 which seems a bit cheap, i dont know if these are the wrong parts????
I suppose the cost is in the fitting, but im going to bill auto glass as the cars only 2 months old.

Shouldn't you first go to Auto Glass to complain?
 
I have complained to auto glass, but to be honest i dont really want them to touch my car.
I went to see there manager and he started telling me that its unlikely his fella did the damage....so i told him it was a brand new car and it didnt look like it before.
He accepted my point and said he was going to order the parts, but until last night when it was raining i never noticed the problem with the wipers.
My window wiper on the drivers side, sails straight over the windscreen and on to the pillar. Fiat says it needs adjusting? Its been raining today and everytime the wipere moves it makes a knocking sound as it leaves the windscreen.
Are they really qualified to fit these parts? I know they have to take them off but if they cant put them back properly do you think its wise to let them at my car again????

I think your probably right but make sure you let Auto Glass pay for it. Good luck!
