I don't have the P/N on hand but a few mins of searching and it's not hard to find. Take it back and make them redo that ish't.

Welllll... shit...

Immense thanks to both of your for getting back to me, even though your posts confirmed my fears with the job lol.

Budget is tight to get the car right again since it's my second vehicle that I just don't want to part with but I suppose I need to pony up the cash and have it done right because water anywhere it shouldn't be isn't something I'm willing to tolerate or fix down the road.

It's doubtful dealing with the original installer will yield me any better of a result that I'm stuck with now so I'll go grab a quote from a well known shop this week and report back on the damage to my unemployed wallet.

Thanks again for both of your help!
