They will inspect your car, then order the parts (if they aren't in stock.) Once the parts come in, the dealership will HAVE to install them for you. It's the only way the shop gets paid for warranty work. Even though it's super fast and easy, go ahead and prepare for an hour or two, and get a free car wash out of the deal.

I always stress that they hand wash my car, and have been told by most dealers that they only wash cars by hand. I also inspect my wheels, because if my car gets put on a rack, it'll be obvious.

Dropped my car off this morning, they said it will be a minimum of one hour so I just went to my office. No need to sit around there waiting bored out of my mind, but yes the dealership has to do this and yes it does only take five minutes.

If I can remember I will try to get a copy of the TSB from the guy there I spoke with and scan it in for you guys, no promises though.

Called my dealer this morning and gave them the information on the TSB... they told me that the parts are now on order and I should get them soon! Hopefully won't have to wait an hour for a 5 minute job though.

I'd be very concerned on how clean their wash mits are. Personally, I wouldn't let anybody wash my car but myself. In a crunch, I would use touchless car wash only.

Ok, back and I got stuff.

What the springs look like, they are different than yours Vipor:

TSB:

vipor · 01-28-2010, 12:30 PM

oo more springy part crazy

theDreamer · 01-28-2010, 12:44 PM

First couple of tests, it definitely had more "pop" to it and opened with ease. Lets hope these new springs work and no more issue.

vipor · 01-28-2010, 12:45 PM

i haven't had mine fail once. i'm sure you'll experience the same
