Thanks for all your replies . The deal was for a 2004 vehicle with 160.000 miles and the seal was in stock and you could see where the seal had been leaking from the stain on the carpet.
I will move on but it just seems there is a principle involved and it would be a good business practice to eat the cost of the rubber. I think it is short sided on the dealers side because I do not have a positive attitude about the dealer and would not recommend them in the future. I can understand if I have requested something special for the vehicle but to replace a defective part on a existing vehicle !!!!!!!!!!!!! and then charge me for it is a bit too much in my opinion. But like I said I will move on and thanks for the different perspectives.
You are correct...
Principle involved
That would be keeping YOUR word or pony up and cover costs incurred
Dealer didn't backout/change the deal---YOU did.
Yep there is 'principle involved'
