No doubt about it, I'll have to take a hit. Ive checked my outstanding finance and its on parity with what webuyanycar offered me. Come june it b will be service time, road tax and two tyres so theres £500 I wont be spending, should soften the blow slightly. Im running like the wind, hopefully lots of others will do the same when they realise your loyalty gets you nothing from these lot!
sadly though pretty much all brands are the same service wise so i dont expect much better from any other, just buy a car well screwed together and worth the asking price
The way I see it Ive got until may to scour owners forums to find people who are honest enough to own up to the flaws of the car without being blinded by pride
I look through the forums to find solutions for my car problems, not to moan about them.
Settle down lads....
To sum this up, we only ever want a product to problem free. We are all annoyed by different things. A rattle seriously irritates me and ruins my drive, its just one of those things i cant stand where as something like say road noise, may irritate others but wouldnt even register for me. We dont get to decide what pisses us off and what doesnt. I might end up having to fix it myself if i cant get a fix at a main dealer.
If anyone fixed thier door rattle successfully i would greatly appreciate some tips

I cant believe the rattles are so bad you can actually hear them over the road noise. I was in a golf for an hour on backroads and it was like a rolls royce compared to my SEAT!
I have a rattle on my drivers door (I think it's the door) and is mainly apparent with the speaker / bass - doesn't even have to be that loud either!
Knowing how useless my dealer is and how high my standards are, I can guarantee the dealer will just make things worse; I wouldn't mind a crack myself. Yes, I am loathed to do this on a brand new car, but; it's just easier and less hassle doing it myself.
Can anyone advise how much Silent Coat I'll need per door please?

I ordered 10 sheets for £15. That seemed plenty though there's still a slight rattle! Also worth buying some of the lighter sound deadening foam to pack into the door space as well.
Another piece of advice is don't scrimp by trying to re-use any of the door clips - they are so cheap just replace the lot.

30min a door max. and no rattles!
Skill level from 1-5 it is 1, so piece of cake.
And as a plus, your Seat Sound System sounds better and deeper than ever
Forget about the dealer fix, it is not near as good as DIY.
For pussies that dont know how to work with cars a bit, running at the dealer is ok.

I agree with the above. It's a relatively easy job to remove and replace the door, especially if you have a second pair of hands to assist. I am certainly no expert and I managed.
Also, the dealer fix will consist of them removing the door card, placing a small amount of felt-backed tape (I don't think there is any logic to where they put it), breaking several door clips they won't replace and putting the door card back on badly.

Well! Just found out that the passenger door window switch doesnt work! A few weeks after they fix the rattle in the same door...
Whats the betting they didnt plug it back in?

If its unrelated I will eat my hat! haha.
When they fixed the rattle before they padded everything out inside by adding foam.
Guarantee its gonna come back rattly again when they fix the switch.
