It would depend on if the dealer agrees with your assessment that it's bad.

Here's a picture - look at the rubber piece at the 3:00 position and tell me what you think. As to the politics, I'm afraid the folks I worked with through the "teething pains" when the car was new are all long gone, don't know anyone in the service department now. I did pop in today to schedule an appointment and make sure the service manager understands my expectation - that the HB is to be replaced at no charge. Got the noncommittal "we'll talk when we see it in person" I was expecting, but at least the foundation for discussion is set.

As an aside, have you ever been to the Ramona Cafe?

Been there once, but don't know any of the folks there. ramonajim is just a screen name I cooked up years ago when I lived in Ramona - figured I had a reasonably good chance of remembering where I lived and what (most) people call me, and it's kinda stuck with me.
