Before I let the monkey's tear my truck up and try to fix it with duct tape.... I'd just as soon let it burn to the ground, I have insurance, and a $50 deductible, -0- fks given

The rework procedure is very well documented (8 pages) with color photos to include a video the techs can watch of the entire recall being performed.

I would not hesitate to allow the dealer to perform the recall.

As was already mentioned there aren't any OEM parts required other than tape that is obtained locally.

Nothing to worry about, except the guy that doesn't care about your property, and breaks parts, scratches parts, and just in general doesn't care because he is not making anything on warranty work and he feels he is worth more than what he is getting paid.... at least that's how it was when I worked in a dealership. And no, I wasn't that guy, I actually liked warranty work, especially the warranty delams, I must have painted at least 500 F150's in the late 80's early 90's... good times.
