Sadly it’s a question of time, how it’s kept (outside or inside) & weather conditions. No one really knows if Lotus has remedied the manufacturing process but being a glass fibre composite the probability of it happening is pretty high.

If you don’t have any whistling noise, no leaks when jetting washing your car then let it fly. I had water droplets on the inside of the window after a jet wash. The way to see if you have a sealing issue is to bend down and look closely at the top of window seal directly above the door mirror...

It was never fully fixed in the end because they couldn’t figure it out. I suspect possible door alignment because I remembered there was a occasional squeak coming from the door latch over bumps. I can tell you both windows passenger and drivers side wasn’t the same. One was higher than the...

I hope you have better luck than what I had. There were sanding marks when blending in on the adjoining panels. Patches of missing paint at the bottom, rough edges, which ultimately had to painted twice. Then door panel gapping uneven which required realignment and to top it off, I had the...

This is why I rejected the Emira and never again. They are literally giving the Electre and Emira away with finance and lease deals at the moment. When will they learn.

Has anyone seen the other side of the door skins. I wonder if they are painted or sealed? Is it porous?

No they’re not. Geely are out to use the brand and tech to help expand and copy there own. Once the times up, it will dump the brand like they did with Polestar.

That’s good news!!!

From all the recent posts and on Facebook. Most of the earlier Emira’s from Nov 22 to May 23 (guesstimate) have these blistering issues. It’s takes nearly 8 months to a year for these bubbles to come out depending on weather conditions. First of all you notice on one door, then the next door...

You had it for 500 miles. Curious to know what month and year the car is so we can understand the issue a bit more?

Mine was one of the first ones to have this issue. I live in a town where it rains most of the year and the car lives outside on the drive way.

I would bet that these are weather/country dependent, also depends if it’s stored outside or inside. It’s a matter of time, eventually they will appear if the panel has a defect.

When I had my door changed. I often wondered if they just changed the door skin. Not the whole door itself. Is this possible?

For your information. I got most of my money back, nearly one year old. Depends on mileage. Or you could ask for a replacement vehicle if you wish.

Reject it. A lot of us with the blisters have already done so. Don’t take this BS. Down the line, it will only get worse.
