You can see where the piece I pushed on has broken away from the rest of the board.

DOH!

Default even with qclub, most give out only 15% discount, thats clairparts' regular price already

it cost me $303 discounted price. (btw, TT bpv only $27).
but clairparts will not warranty this product(!), its fine by me but maybe troubling for others.
if you want a used one, www.dadsauto.com has one in stock $190 i think

now help me preach the lesson learned here =)
