    My headlight assembly was recently removed and reinstalled. When I received the car back from the shop a portion of the black rubber gasket that surrounds the clear plastic lens was "pinched" underneath the lens. I'm concerned water could get where it doesn't belong. I'm inclined to just let it be if it it's not going to cause a problem. Any advice?
    Thank you

    Run a water hose over it to see if water tight

    Whether it would take on water or not, I would insist the shop take care of it, that's just sloppy. Even the possibility of water, or even just condensation making it's way into the ballast is enough to make me want to fix it. I have 2 Buick Regal GS's, and they have a similar problem that led to a ton of people having to replace their headlights to the tune of $2000. I wouldn't even want to think about the cost on the 360.
