Cricklewood are complaining of the number of dashboard angle supports for the bonnet being loose. The rivets are loose. It is impossible with a complete car to get at the back of the dashboard to re-rivet the angle pieces, and in two cases they have had to drill out the rivets and fit screws. Would you please see what can be done to get a better job ?
