When you add up how much this will cost you it negates the value of the warranty. I bought one of those when I first picked up this car because it was so cheap I thought what the heck. I opted to pay over several installments. Almost immediately I had a problem, top wouldn't come down. I brought it to the dealer and they said "$4 switch but we have to charge you $140 labor". Fine I said I'm covered "bumper to bumper". The Porsche tech comes back an hour later "you're warranty will not cover it". A $4 switch. So I stopped making the payments and allowed them to cancel the warranty. Glad I didn't pay all up front.
Did you find the language in the b2b warrantee that excluded that job?
