SEAT are cheeky Monkeys surely they should be looking at this for free as its within 3 years, and if nothing else as goodwill (and they know its a known fault).
I had a problem a couple of years ago with the paint on out Ibiza (it was really thin on the bumper corner. Looked like it had worn away. I am OCD when it comes to cleaning and must admit did notice it from day one but as the dealer we purchased it from is 200 miles away and it was hardly visible I thought I would leave it till the first service (local SEAT dealer). But as I had left it 12months (just over) they said it wasn’t covered by SEAT Warranty. I complained but they wouldn’t budge. The supplying dealer would have done it free of charge but Sussex to Lowestoft was a but difficult at the time with work etc.
Not happy at all as quite obviously a manufacturing fault.
In the end I got it repainted at the local Chips Away site and they just painted the very corner edge, cost very very little, perfect match and completely invisible – did a great job. But I was not happy with the SEAT dealer’s attitude and haven’t used them since for Servicing etc on either car so they have lost a few quid from me.
Really hope you get your rattle sorted out.
