Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

[Orchardbike]

Some people have reported that certain dealers are replacing both doors even if only one is blistered. This doesn’t appear to be the norm though.

I had both of my doors replaced when I only saw blistering on one of them.

Yes, me too. I was told that Lotus instructed the dealer to replace both doors. Mine only had bubbling on passenger door. Now I've got to get the whistle at 70mph from the passenger door fixed.

I'm going through the same place you did (Silverstone), so it sounds like Lotus has tightened the policy. It sounded very much like it is no longer at the discretion of the dealer.

I bought a car that had blistering on both doors believing it to be the “sure” way to avoid the problem - maybe wishful thinking. Having said that, it’s been at the dealers since I bought it for non-starting problems. If I ever get it/accept it back, it’ll be going back in for the doors… one day I’ll drive it!
