Re: Renault Megane Cabriolet convertable. 2007.

Thanks. I did get a very bad one. A new seal for the boot was £144 plus fitting. The roof had to be removed and sealed £202.00 All the windows had to be realigned. As I previously said, all the window motors had to be replaced. The brake pads and discs had to be replaced. Never again would I buy a ...
