OMG, I hope hindi lang pinukpok 'yung door ni Mama. I'm pretty sure it was 'supposedly' replaced. Anyway, ang estimate lang ng overall damage was about 40k+. It was way lower than what we expected.

To those still waiting for their Fortuner. I wish you all of the patience in this world and more. Harhar.

One way of telling if they completely replaced the door unit or just "reformed" with generous amounts of body filler/ putty / bondo, is by getting a refrigerator magnet (preferrably the soft and bendable type - as not to scratch the car's surface ) and place it over the "repaired" (formerly damaged) area. If the magnet clings (has good adhesion) well onto the area (car surface) then they didnt use any body filler. But if the magnet partially clings on or cannot seem to cling completely onto the surface, then expect that area to have been filled with body filler/ putty / bondo.
