Hearsay does not help the community get their cars fixed. Discouraging people to take their cars to dealers to get their cars fixed doesn't help either.

I will look into the manual, but firstly you both acknowledge and deny the secondary issue, which is dealer reliability. An oil change is also a straight forward easy job (and one that most everyone at the dealership actually has experience doing), but somehow they still F it up on occasion. If an oil change can be botched so easily, then an abnormal issue like removing the dash assembly could easily result in scratched interior, other things not working, etc. So far I've read of one person having this dash issue attempted, and it resulted in multiple return visits and additional headaches. So far that's a 100% dealer service failure rate in my eyes. If other members have had the dealer fix it, then I urge them to post here. I'm also nearly 100% certain that the part is simply replaced with the same part again, only delaying a recurrent issue if the root problem is heat.
I'm not saying the dealer
shouldn't fix it, but many of us simply don't want the opportunity for such things to happen at all because we have little faith in the competency of the techs, especially when performing an uncommon task.
There are absolutely good techs out there, but I don't know them personally. I'd love to get their input on this issue, though. For some issues I'd rather employ a fix myself than take it to someone I don't know, and thus, can't trust, regardless whether it's their responsibility or not.
This goes for any repair garage as well, not just dealers, but unfortunately for warranty issues, the dealer is the only option.
