... found that grip-assist handle looseygoosey and slipped a bit when i grabbed onit to get out the truck
i don't get it, they were supposed to not touch a damned thing inside repairing those 400+ dents
it wasn't all loosey goosey before i dropped it off :mad:
so now have to go back and see wot the deal is there and get the new hood insulator put in for the one that ripped to shreds when they removed it
5000V
