Dealer replacing instrument cluster lens - Should I be worried about creaks and rattles?

[Nasscar]

I had the bi-modal exhaust installed when I bought my Stinger. To do this, the entire dash had to be removed by the dealer for the installation to occur. I have had no issues whatsoever with rattles or any problems in relation to this installation. My car is 8 months old and done 5000kms. I also have not heard of any Australian owners having any problems after having this done. As SteveCo stated, it is unfair to tar all Kia dealers with the same brush. And I'm looking at you Nuthadey when I say this.

So, tried to take pictures of the swirls with my phone, and while they're slightly visible in my phone's flash, what is REALLY visible is the scratches they put in the shroud surrounding the instrument cluster. I kind of noticed it before but once I got in there and actually took pictures, I noticed just how bad it was. Before anyone asks, yes, I tried using a damp microfiber to clean the areas, just to make sure it wasn't just polish that would wipe away. These are scratches that reappear when it dries.

I can't believe that these "detailers" (who the salesman called award winning the night I bought the car LOL) didn't even tape off the surrounding area before polishing out the scratches they created a couple days earlier. Now I am going to have to call KIA corp again tomorrow and ask that they send the shroud part to the dealer to have them install it while they are replacing the lens.

Unbelievable incompetence. How are some people even possible? Unload on these guys, then walk away. Kia Corp wants to know this stuff. My dealer is top grade, btw.

My dealer has screwed up my car on a few occasions but they have fixed all of it without too much pressure ..............

Whoa. I just thought it would be beneficial for the OP to ask someone who already replaced theirs to see if there were any sounds that came with the swap. Happy Holidays!

I mistook you for someone else who gave me a similar unwarranted reply last week. I apologize.

From personal experience, i would try to limit the amount of times the dealership touches my car. The less the better. Always assume they'll screw something up or damage something. I would leave it alone.
