Had this happen to my 03 and it was replaced without problem by the dealer.....no problems since

Mine has a crack about an inch from the side & I got the dealer to examine it: they think something hit it so, sadly, it would cost me about £82GBP to replace

[azroadie]

My cracked about a month or two after buying my used 2003 2.5i. The dealer replaced it free of charge.

will the dealers be willing to fix this well after warranty?

Ditto?

I had no luck with my dealer - they denied all knowledge

It is easy to fit yourself with a few tools...

[Herminator]

Does the crack due to the screw tension only appear in the corners? or can it be a cause of a crack in the middle of the light?

[gannet]

Dunno, but I had one in the corner and when I took it out I then found one in the middle. My car was supposed to have the revised springs on it though

My crack was exactly like the bulletin. Service advisor and service manager gave me a lot of grieve about it not being a waranty issue. Thanks to the old forum I had the bulletin with me.
