I think I would go back to the dealer. Have them re-fix it.

Yes I will be calling them...but I will need to make sure I don't lose the stud in the process of getting to work.

They said the stud was bottomed out...but I have a hard time believing that. The place I bought the studs from was kind enough to send me two sets just in case...it happens that I need them lol.

Car's at the dealer. Making it right and keeping my business. Also having them do a Maryland State Inspection...since it's over due...

Cool! Anything is better than freezing yer balls off outside...

Good to hear! This is the level of service I'd expect from a Dealer.

Got the car back!! Dealer bill totaled $770.32. But the work is certified and it drove fantastically!

It failed MD State Inspection however.

$1700 for a dealer installed windshield. Mine has a crack and a few chips. Fail. Going to call insurance and see what we can do for this.

$475 for new front tires. Cupping on the inside shoulders. Bought new wheels for $450 and Blizzak WS80 tires in 205/50/17 front, 225/45/17 rear. Will be mounted and balanced on Wednesday. Just in time for the snow.

$500+ for new fog lights. Cracks with holes and pitted glass. In rough shape from the get go. Using this opportunity to upgrade to the Euro Spec fogs with driving lights towards the center if the car. $400 local pick up. Guy I bought my wheels from has a new set.

And lastly needs a battery tiedown... $75 dealer cost. Will fab up something of my own for that. Not paying that much for a piece of metal.

Bungie cord the battery if needed for the time being. Good to hear it running good ��

Nah gonna do it right. My issue is with the price. The part is a bolt down u shape that tightens over the center of the battery. Easy to make or find used.

It's a quote that a manager recently used at a meeting we had. I felt it was very powerful. Just keep it in mind. It's my TT sig. Is it really that hard to read out of context material on the web? On the Tapatalks, it is in small, greyed out text below the body.

On the web it just shows as another line in your post, not separated by anything, so it was very confusing. Thanks for clarifying.
