So I dropped by after work today. I explained the situation in my best 'polite voice' to the lady behind the counter, and she was real nice and wrote up a new order, photocopied the old receipt, etc. and then said "Lemme go in the back and talk to _____ and make sure I've got everything right"

Then it got fun!

The guy came storming out, "I can't believe this! What do you mean you can't fix it?" I explained how the solder had run under the lip of the seal, and that I was afraid I would either ruin the finish or ruin the part trying to cut it out or melt it out, and that I could not use the parts in this condition. His response "You must not be very good at restoring cars if you can't handle something as simple as this!"

I wanted to say "If I was going to hang a door to paint it, would I weld an eye bolt in the middle of it?" but I held my tongue. He grudgingly agreed to re-do the parts, but I have a feeling I'm not at the top of the queue...
