I resent your accusation that I called them "trained" monkeys! Trained would imply the opposite of what I actually said and give them credit

I have no doubt that this is true. But in regards to the scenario at hand and all the similar stories of the replacement light condensing again, those were obviously a case of an uneducated employee who did not or could not read the TSB instructions. Yea, I was talking about the dealerships. But now that you mention it I'm sure there is at least one guy at the Subaru plant that consumed a little too much wasabi during lunch or the issue wouldn't have surfaced in the first place.

I saw the 1986 Michael Keaton movie Gung Ho, and truly believe it accurately reflects Japanese versus American auto(fat, unionized, drunk) workers. Read your newspapers, tons of stories of US automaker employees clocking in then going to a bar.
