I have been waiting for over a year for a part that doesn't exist. It has gotten a lot worse with the humidity changes and every time i start the jeep it sticks. I was told to call at the beginning of every week to see if the part comes in. They also told me that they are limited to how many they get each week. I am beyond this bull crap on waiting for a part that's just so simple as they claim to replace.
