Has your dealer taken care of your concerns, cnsheets? Please let me know; I have your VIN from previous messages, so please forward your approximate mileage and I’ll lend a hand.

I have a moonroof and had arranged to have the TSB done with my last oil change but asked them to hold off while I rethink this through some more...
I see Peter already jumped on that question, davek4.

Thanks for helping, Peter! Have you put in some more thought on getting it done?

It’s great that yours came out perfect, blwnsmoke. Please keep us in the loop with the change.

gpzrider & jeff59rt1,

Have you talked to the dealer about still having the noise? I have your details from before; drop me a line with your current mileages and I’ll arrange follow-up calls.

I asked for it because I hoped it would help with the bluetooth noise. It did not make any difference for me -- the bluetooth still sucks.
HDJulie,

I suggest letting your dealer check on this. I can help by forwarding the details to your regional Customer Service Manager. For me to do this, please send a PM with your contact information, VIN, approximate mileage, and dealer name/state.

I appreciate you sharing that, RonJrSVCMGR.

VinceL,

That sounds like an easy way to turn your ride into a sauna. I don’t recommend it.

I am in the same boat.
