That is a bloody liberty threatening to charge you for removing door card!
More worrying is signs of rust at 4-5 years old! Quite an odd place for it to happen too unless it was previously damaged there?

take it to Cambridge mate, they dont quibble there.
@Chris
Are you able to upload a photo of the corrosion? I don’t think the dealer should be worrying about removing the door card as the corrosion won’t be visible there.
I’m guessing the paint is just bubbling from below the surface, ie no signs of any stone chip / external force? I deal with the paint warranty claims for 3 local dealers and I’m yet to be asked by Renault to have a door card or other interior trim removed. It’s a simple case of clear photos, paint depth measurements, cost it up and send it to Renault themselves for approval.
Hope you get sorted.

Cheers Eddie.
Yeah ill do it tomorrow in the light.
Yes exactly what I though - its tiny so its not going to be through. No theres no stone chips or anything nearby that could let water in. Just a way of getting out of it. What do they want me to wait for it to be bubbling and half my door missing before they will do anything...?
I see it too often and can never understand it, why would a dealer turn away such a repair? Its money in the bank for them for the sake of some photos and for someone to price up the work. If it was my business and staff where fobbing people off they wouldn’t be in a job long but that’s just how some dealers seem to operate. “Too much like hard work” comes to mind.
I don’t think it would matter how big the blemish is it wouldn’t appear on the inside of the panel.
Anyhow, pop a photo up. Just a shame you weren’t closer or I’d have it done for you.

it is but if they get the job done without being pathetic and charging you to remove the door lining then could be well worth the agro.Bit of a trek that mate...

Did they take any paint depth measurements or anything like that or completely dismiss you?
It’s quite an odd looking defect. Has the car ever been painted before do you know? The only way to really tell is paint depth measurements.
I’d phone Renault customer relations as the very least I’d expect them to do is to pay the dealer for the removal and refitting of the door card (still unsure as to why they feel the need to do this). Providing the paint depths are grand that should be covered no problem.
