It is bad form and bad customer service to treat customers like the OP has been treated, but in all fairness it is probably the logical conclusion to our wired internet age.
This is the likely scenario to play out on the OPs request for the availability of a slide seal. The dealer will consult their parts manuals to find the actual part number. They will confirm that part with the customer. Then they will tell the customer the price. Then armed with that information, the customer will order it off the internet (cheaper price and no two hour round trip to pick it up. The savings in gas will more than make up for the internet suppliers overnight shipping charge). The dealer will have spent 15 minutes of an employee's time for no return. Multiply that by 10 or 20 calls a day and you basically have an employee doing nothing productive.
Except when the dealer has it, then OP has it in an hour.
I don't think internet ships that fast.
