oh u juz wait.. he will come to it eventually

will he rage and ...

- set it on fire?
- roll it down a hill?
- C4 it?
- drop it from height?
- used it as target practice?

my company fabricates machinery and we do spot welds when full welds r not required (becoz full weld costs a lot more material, man hours and more skills to make it look goodl )

but generally we always minimize spot welding on exterior surfaces (especially those at eye level after installation)... it works but seeing spots here and there looks shitty... sometimes we spot weld from the inside....

IMO... proton could have spot welded the door and hide it behind the rubber

really OMG.. preve pwns 180k car...

actually i am curious... most ppl here say it fail becoz of cosmetic reasons or car safety?

if safety, we can always refer to the side impact test results... unless we can get an objective opinion from an experienced car engineer...

if cosmetic, well... tutup mata lar.. 65k... u expect nice nice welding meh

yeap agree...

Msian's r eagle eyed QC inspectors..

i went to look around again.. can't find any welding... look again 2moro morning when it is bright....

imma juz gonna leave this here http://www.maa.org.my/info_duty.htm

in conclusion, same as b4.... buying proton is like buying lottery... some ppl's one will break down after exiting the sales room.... some ppl's one will run for 10 years wif no problem and swear that some of us r juz proton bashers...

disclaimer: drove a mitsubishi engine waja for 5 years... only problem is power window... the rest ran like a bouse

wah this thread still going

anyway... back to topic, if it is a safety/quality issue, then we can only trust those independent testing on the side impact, unless u r a qualified car engineer...

if it is a cosmetic issue, then ya... proton needs to buck up... it works... but looks ugly
