You have a vehicle that has reached nearly 300,000km and you say it is flimsy?! Okay, if that's what you reckon.

I would suggest it's fair wear and tear, but that's only my opinion. After all - the vehicle was intended to be locked and unlocked using the remote, with the door lock for extraordinary use only.

As for the barrel - they can be removed and replaced. No big deal.
