Hahahahahahaahah!!!!!
They will total your vehicle and tell you that your warranty doesn't cover it!
It is really sad to me that they are "supposed" to be the subject matter "experts". They don't know crap.
Talk to Trinity and tell Joe I said "Hola!"

Is this easily done by anyone or is there a set of procedures? I've noticed mine has some blurry specks in it and was thinking of getting it replaced..... or should I just buy one and get the screwdriver? heheheh
