on a 2014 car shouldn't be a problem?
Ours had some repairs about 15 months ago, and some time afterwards some plastic cladding on the doors started to come adrift. It was slightly damaged as a result so the repairer ordered some replacements.
The ones supplied were primed for painting, whereas the ones on the car are unpainted. Skoda (via the local dealer I believe) claim that the unpainted type as fitted to the car are no longer made.
I'm pretty sure that manufacturers are obliged to ensure spares availability for up to 10 years from manufacture. Maybe this only applies to parts necessary to function.
Either way I think it's pretty poor.
The damage was very minor so on this occasion the old ones were made to do, but I don't think I will be buying any more Skodas.
This is what the cladding looks like goo.gl/wiZdGY
