Man hate to hear that it's one thing to be picky and another to be getting quality work for the money you/insurance is paying to have it repaired correctly. My brother manages a body shop where we live and I assure you vehicles don't leave with issues like this. Hate to think you would have to get rid of it but starting from scratch might be only route.
Thanks. I forgot that the gate seems to swing not quite right compared to new. I think the hinge mounts might be tweaked. When closed the up gap between the gate and body is bigger than the new ones, but once open the gap is smaller than new ones. Something isn't right. And both hinges are new. I had them replaced when on this last attempt I saw that the holes were wallowed out. I've considered a whole new shell, but at this point that's all out of pocket and I have my doubts that it'd be assembled issue free.
I can't understand how this is so hard. The first shop utterly butchered things. The second is better and genuinely wants to make it right, but two tries and still issues. I mean come on.
