    My service advisor ordered them for me and gave them to me after I told him that I didn't mind popping them in myself.

    These worked out great for $9 with extra grommets and plugs left over.

    Mine does the same thing when windy, ill prob just get the plugs from lowes though. It would take more time and gas for me to go to the dealer when lowes is right by my house

    Dealers giving me the crap "if we can't reproduce it they won't do the repair". Annoyed as it only occurs when windy. Waiting to see if they'll just fix it, if not guess I'll be doing this myself

    that sucks! the one i took it to applied the tsb without hesitation. It seems like its all in the dealer or the service advisor. Are there other dealers near you that you can try?

    There is a TSB, just tell them to fucking do it. I'm so worn out on dealers pulling that garbage.

    Yeah theres a different dealer about 15 minutes away. If they don't fix it I'll wait until my 10k service and take it there and see if they will do it

    Right. It's an extremely inexpensive fix, it's ridiculous.

    Taped mine up tonight, seems to have reduced or eliminated the whistling noise , sent a service request to my dealer and hopefully get the plugs from them . If not I guess I will put up a fight or pay the $20 for them
