Default New Rear Passenger Door on My Leon

Just got my car back from a Seat Dealers Bodyshop after having the passenger rear door replaced. It was an insurance job after some old giffer reveresed into me and put a dint into it!
Now the problem is not with the paint work as I think they've done a good job blending the red in. The problem is with the actual door itself! If you 'tap' the door it sounds very tinny and not solid like the other 3 doors? Do you think they have forgot to put some sound deading in or something like that? Also the electric window mechanism sounds loud now compared to the other 3 windows?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

They priced it up as whole new door as they don't do reskins on them? Or atleast that's what they told me!

If it went to the seat dealers then I would have thought they would have used a genuine part!

No skin available for the seat leon`s mate , they must have not fitted a new sound pad in the door or the window regulator is loose which is a big alloy plate that goes around the complete door. Although some new doors come with the sound deadning pad instaled in them.
