Cut pinch seams
So I started this morning to finally cut my pinch seams and I couldn't get one of my lugnuts loose. I was already due for my free oil change so I drove to the dealer to have them remove the lugnut as well. As I was walking the lot I noticed some of the 2013 have the pinch seam cut from the factory now. I mentioned this to the service department and they put it on the lift and cut them for me (no charge)!!! Just thought I would share this for those still waiting to do this. Went ahead and bed lined the rocker panels when I got back home ( the plastidip wasn't cutting it).
Cheers

Yeah mine is a 13 and no trimmed pinch seam. I was just surprised the dealership did it for me. And a couple of parts I ordered were cheaper than a few catalogs I have here (not to mention names). Not my typical stealership experience, something must be wrong!!

Did they treat/paint the bare metal and seal it up? That won't take long to turn into a rust issue. I hit mine with etching primer and paint, sealed it with aircraft fuel tank sealant and then painted it to match.

Another tip would be to drill or cut as slowly as possible to prevent heat spread in the surrounding areas.
