How Swift fix delamination

[GaryB]

OK, just picked the caravan up following it's trip back to the factory for a delamination repair. I asked the dealer how it had been done as the bulge in the wall had gone BUT the sidewall hadn't been replaced. Apparently, providing there is access from above (window etc) or from below, they cut away part of the polyurethane structure (there's no wood in these), inject a polyurethane 2-part adhesive and apply pressure and heat to the defective area. This results in an invisible repair without having to change the entire panel. The piece of cutaway polyurethane structure is then replaced, see the photo below, identified as a dovetail shape.

Part of me wanted a new side but in a way I'm glad it was repaired as this way didn't disturb any seals etc on adjacent panels.

Just need to re-fill it now with all the junk, sorry, essentials.

Providing you get a decent guarantee with the repair it does look a sensible way of doing this.

It's a continuation of the Swift bodyshell warranty so should be okay.

Which recommend that one should use a credit card to make a small contribution to the repair the extending the period under which to can lodge a CRA 2015 claim.
