Anyone had the dealer look at this yet or found anything else?

There is a TSB out on this. My car actually has had the "3 rivets..." added at the factory prior to delivery. There is a sequence of VIN#'s that were affected,...mine is in that sequence. I do have a hardcopy of the TSB, ...but I do believe there is an older thread on this board with links to the TSB online.
