Hi all,
Just had a new front door and side panel fitted today. Not happy about the fitting, especially the two brown spacers below the side panel. Installer reckons it is correct but it looks like a bodge to me.
Ive searched the web for pictures, including very similar installations on the installer's own website, and I can't find anything that looks remotely like this.
Also, there is a black sealing strip along the bottom outer edge of the door which doesn't actually compress against anything when the door is closed. In fact, from outside you can see the screws holding down the threshold when the door is shut.
I think the side panel was made too short and they've tried to conceal the gap at the bottom with the two brown spacers/end caps. From the inside it looks just as bad where they've tried to fill the gap with a piece of gold strip.
What do you guys think? Bodge or normal?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
