because they are denying the warranty on my car due to previous body work which was unknown to me

Default I have only seen it once ever and it was not perforated, but....

the car was about a month old and it was one of the first passat 4 motion wagons. So it was VW moving into new price point territory and wanted to do them right.. and well if it was rusted after a month you can bet there would be a hole after 12 years.

over simplifing it, They mean the original still in tact around the hole.

Default It would be easier to just find another door in the right color

or at least a good door shell and swap over your internal parts.

I actually painted 2 door shells to match one of my C4s because I ran across a stellar deal on the shells. It wasn't too bad, but it would have been worth $100 to $150 in my opinion if I could have found them in the right color.
