OK.... CUTE got fixed this afternoon!!!!! Yea

and it took 45 mins and 308 dollars. 180 for the part and 99 for labor, then tax. All said and done not to bad and she's back to new.
BUT, about one mile away from the dealer while sitting at a red light,
the driver behind us seen the left turn lane signal change and slammed in to the our rear end

while we were still on a red light in our lane, can you believe it, so back to the dealer, good thing they had a whole panel kit in our color because we needed a center fender panel, rear passenger panel and the hatch door panel, totaling 788 dollars. Thankfully the driver was very nice and is paying for it tomorrow.
And how cool was it for the Smart dealer here to do the work not 30 mins after we left the first time.
So, there is the update and some......
