Well, picked up the Av today. The 6th time it has been in for midgate leaking. I think it's time to mail all my paperwork to the lemon law lawyer. Here's what this service call report says:
Water checked veh and immediately duplicated water entry at left side of center bar for midgate. Checked bulletins and found #02-08-66-002 and inspected for this condition at forward edge of hard cover, found no roughness there. Checked for wheelhouse water entry per bulletin #01-08-57-001, even though water is clean and does not appear to be! Also checked rear opening weatherstrip per bulletin #02-08-57-002 and found water not entering at locations specified, however the special close tolerance rubber material they used worked well to shimm weatherstrip at center bar location. Water checked veh and found water entry is reduced by at least 50%. Adjusted lower midgate, center bar and its strikeers in slightly, lubricated all weatherstrips for rear opening and water checked veh. Could no longer duplicate water entry into veh. 3.5 //warr// tech#11
now when I got home and cleared my head of all the silicone fumes

I opened the midgate to find silicone thickly coated all over the seals. What a mess

I cleaned all the silicone off and closed everything up nice and tight. I sprayed the back window with the garden hose and sure enough it still leaks

I then open the tailgate and spray the top of the cargo covers near the back window. Water is pouring down the rear of the midgate into the bed

and to top it all off they broke my blind spot mirrors off and didn't even leave them with the truck or bother to tell me that they did it

So I think this weekend I'll pull off all my mods and start looking for a different vehicle. It's a real shame to I rally like the Av, but I'm not going to go through this with another vehicle. I'm sorry this is so long, but I'm completely pissed off right now.
