My third brake light is flaking off like a cheap paint job, it looks absolutely awful! It's giving me serious flashbacks to those crumbling GM truck hoods back in the day. The dealer's thankfully agreed to cover it, but of course, the replacement part is on national backorder with no ETA in sight. So, weeks, at best, and who knows how long it could actually take. And you won't believe this they have to yank out the windshield and the headliner just to get to the stupid light! That sounds like a massive job, and I'm worried about them scratching something or messing up the alignment. Plus, now that I think about it, I noticed a tiny chip in my windshield, probably from a rock. I'm terrified they'll try to pin it on me while they're doing the brake light repair, even though it was there before. This whole thing is turning into a major headache. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of brake light issue? Is the windshield removal really necessary, or are they just trying to inflate the labor costs? I'm thinking about demanding a loaner car, but I'm not sure if I have any leverage. This is way more complicated than it should be for a simple brake light!
