i asked about this when mine rusted. they where just going to replace the crappy screws with more crappy screws, so i opted to take care of it myself. I have no doubt had they just swapped screws, i would have had the same issue back the following spring. To me, the hassle of dealing with the dealership to do something like this just isnt worth it. Had I had paint bubbling etc. then i would have of course taken it in. But for this, to me, it isnt worth being without my Jeep when a few minutes on a saturday morning squelched it for years.
