Br-:
I remain baffled about the factory mentality. They might not be big enough to be able to analyze the long term cost of poor quality control from a perspective of customer satisfaction, dealer satisfaction, and repair costs. Sounds like your dealer might not be getting pre authorization for work done (maybe he charged you enough to eat some of the costs!). I'm pretty sure my dealer is getting paid for everything. I have determined that the seal is indeed the source of my latest leak. The beat goes on. Yet, I still like it!
