I need a complete rear hatch in Electric Blue Metallic, no dents or rust with good paint.

Shipped to 03104

Just bought a 2006 JCW fully optioned w/ Chrono Package & English Leather. Now it's time to fully recondition it. Small area of rust near the boot handle. Maybe cheaper to replace the hatch than do the body work???



Thanks

Your car should have a 12 year rust warranty and there have been a few posts where non-original owners have had the rust repaired or panels replaced for free. Also, check around the tailights for rust. There's a seam at the bottom of the housing that is prone to rust.

Check with your local dealership(s) to see if they'll cover it before spending your own money.

 

I will check with the dealership and report back.

Thanks for the tip.
