IIRC my old 1999.5 VW Jetta was assembled in Mexico. My father found a paint run(base coat) on the c-pillar and tire shops couldn't align the rears.

When I approached the dealer about the paint run he said they could fix it, but advised not to because the baking process would age the interior plastics. He was right. A year later I had the car repainted because of hail damage and the interior plastics took a beating. It was a fun car.
