With our three month old son in the vehicle I didn’t have much of an option. A quick search turned up that it’s fairly common and the quickest/cheapest way out was to shatter a window so.....I took a hammer to the passenger front window. I recieved two of these letters last week but I’ve just never been a big fan of seeking compensation. The new glass and all new door panel clips was just a bit over $180 so for me it’s just not really worth the trouble. It’s just another “quirk” that comes with this platform that we’ve learned and we will operate it with that in mind going forward. Kinda like replacing plastic CCV lines, oil pan gaskets, valve cover gaskets......etc!!! Lol
awful experience, can't even imagine
