Anyone in Central Florida have problems getting their sail panel replaced for free through the local dealerships?

Is your car under warranty?

I've never heard of anyone trying to get their sail panel replaced for free.

Is this in reference to the paint bubbling? If so, I think there is a TSB and it is covered even if your out of warranty I believe. Try to go to a different dealership. I had a few friends get their's replaced.

Great, now I can't find the TSB. Maybe that's why they have been fighting you. let me look around a little bit or maybe if someone else knows it.

All the TSB does is show them how to fix the problem when someone comes in with it. They wont do it no charge unless there is a recall and those are for safety related problems only. You have to do as somws6 did and call someone which I will be doing tomorrow.
