Karl what is RTV? and what is the process? my cover is not leaking i dont think? it sweats a bit, im shocked at the bucks you guys have been quoted!

4000 odd USD x 16 in my currency is a load of cash, even at 24 hours labour charge that will be a bout R24K giving you a labour cost at Aston Martin of CT about 1500 USD

Locally our labour cost / hour is under 70 USD with all parts supplied and fitted by AM carrying a 12 month warrenty

RTV is room temperature vulcanisation. Scellant.

Which dealership? How exactly does this get missed on a PPI? It's not something that happens overnight.

larryg is infamous around these parts
I purchased my new 2014 V8V from Pieter at AMoDC. Found the dealership/Pieter
to be straight forward and reasonable.
Remember however that all car dealers must be watched carefully.
