Maybe you can help with this problem. The dealer says $3200 to fix and Lexus Customer Service says they can't declare it a mfg defect? My 98 GS 400 is not happy and neither am I. Is there a solution?

The Lexus Dealer is quoting $3200. I told him he may have hit his head....What did you end up doing? QUOTE(GS300Fan @ May 15 2005, 08:26 AM) I had moisture on my passenger floorboard (2001 GS) and figured it was a clogged A/C drain line. Dealer called and told me I had a cracked case around the evaporator core. First of all, how does the case crack without any impact? I guess it's possible, but wouldn't it take some force to crack it? Second of all, it's very expensive to replace (10-12 hrs labor), but another repair shop suggested it could be repaired by just sealing the crack with an apoxy (epoxy?) sealant that is actually stronger than the plastic case itself. Has anyone heard of a cracked case, or know how it could happen? Can anyone shed light onto what my best alternative is (excluding the obvious cost savings)?
