    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    glueing the cap to the bed is not a good move if you want service techs to deal with things.

    DIY is always best!

    Sounds like the customer did. The dealer actually tried to provide a solution, the customer said No way that cap is getting moved.

    Yes.
    If you don't see screws on the outside of the light then it's bolted from the inside.
    Doable but a PITA

    I had same situation and just put some silicone on the top and sides where they leak (mine never did, but i added the silicone just in case). No need in my mind to silicone the bottom as gravity takes care of that. Ended up trading the rig 3 years later and i let the dealer worry about the recall
