Window seals - no warranty?
Took my 2007 550 into the dealer yesterday for a wind noise issue. They came back and told me that the driver side window seal looks like it needs to be replaced, and that it's not a warranty item. Cost for replacement (with labor) is about 500 bucks. That seems shocking high to me; 2K to replace all the seals on the car?
Does this sound right? Is that price in the ballpark? And are window seals a specifically excluded item from the new car warranty (because I can't find it anywhere when reading through the paperwork)?
Thanks!

They seemed pretty sure that they weren't covered; you have any experience with this particular issue (getting them to cover it)?
Does the price sound right? If so, I might just go sell the car; that's absolutely unbelievably out of bounds. 2K to change 4 window seals? I can deal with 500 dollar tires and 2K brake jobs. But window seals? Come on!
