Hi all,

Just noticed that some bolts holding this flap to the body of the car have come loose and refuse to go back in! Must have snapped or something anyone know how I can go about fixing this on the fly? Was thinking double sided sticky pads... Don't want it to fall off while driving!

NVM guys, all sorted I got a last minute appointment at the vauxhall garage and they fixed the issue within an hour. Said a few of the clips had snapped and had to be replaced which they did for free.

I moan about vauxhall but generally they aint too bad! They always fix my problems and usually for free (under warranty) too. They know I don't buy parts from them but always help out to give me info on what I need to have replaced so I can source it myself

My experience with the dealers so far has been ok... my local one just always seems chokka on the desk and you take ages to get seen.

Always pretty happy to help so far tho and work seems half decent, prices not that bad either.
