OK So weeks ago you guys read about my vent falling apart and the dealer saying they would cover it, they were supposed to email me, I have heard nothing. So today, I decided to look at the problem myself, never mind that the dealer's top trained man already attempted to effect repairs and gave up, let me see what old skool can do. After inspecting the part closer one sees it's directional, a little arm grabs a slot to hold the inner fork in place so you can snap the top back together. Using dental tools, (they laughed at me for suggesting it) I was able to reassemble the vent slide back to 100% in about twenty minutes, not bad for an old guy who doesn't own the title top dealer mechanic dawg, now should I tell them or wait till Xmas for the replacement?
