New metal garage door bent
My 10 month old 7x16 ft segmented garage door has developed a series
of small buckled areas up the center of the outside skin of the door, and it sags down slightly when open. When closed the bow is still visible. I called the local dealer and the service guy checked it out and the first thing he said was, "What did you do to that door!?" He told me that the door is very stout and he has "never seen one bend that wasn't hit by a car." He seems to think I bumped it and am not willing to admit it. To the best of my knowledge there has never been an incident like this and there are no marks on the outsdie of the door. I supose someone could have bumped it when I wasn't home, but visitors always park at the curb. I was _really_ ticked by his attitude, but I don't know what to do as a next step, other than to call my insurance company and pay the deductible to get it fixed and repainted. I think the door guy's attitude sucked. Maybe I should write to the door company's president? I have always thought that the customer should be given the benefit of a doubt in cases where the cause of a prodsuct failure can't be determined.... The cost to repair it would be about $800 not including the paintwork. New it is about $1200. Comments?
