has anyone had the dealer install the clearbra for free? I pick up a black sti in 3 weeksn and she offered to install it for a price. should I ask for it for free bing that SOA knows about this issue and I will most likely get ut done anyways?

I called SOA and they told me there's no recall for this but they are aware of the issue.

Anyone have a copy of the TSB?

Thanks

Can someone pm me a copy of the tsb.

Also for newly purchased cars taht have been sitting on the lots for a while, will dealers go out of their way to apply new film or to rear qtr panels to prevent damage?
