I agree dont let the repairer fob you off.

Was it a main dealer with an internal body shop? - if so reject it, if it was a main dealer without a body shop still knock it back.

If it was an insurance approved repairer take it up with the insurers, and tell tham you are unhappy with the quality.

Often when repairing body components, the panels are cleaner with very agressive solvents and these will damage door seals and bits of plastic / ABS trim. Often the repairer will used some untrained nugget to do the labour, then the painter finishes off the final rubbing down and painting. Most two pack paints, will contain 'nasites' that also will affect the plastic panels if not masked fully from the paint application.

Good Luck
