Kraig man, damn...
1st off, the Porsche community is a good one. Calling everyone names since we don't agree with you doesn't help you make your point.
One of the things that I found the most crass about your first post was that you were trying to manipulate this community into blackmailing Roger, who is waaay generous to begin with. You went beyond mere social pressure and tried to scare him into paying for things that no parts vendor, particularly electrical parts vendor, should ever have to pay for, and you must know that being a car dealer. You tried to use the good will of this community to twist Roger's arm and get his business to pay for something that would create a profit (or at least negate a loss) in your business. To get something for nothing. We call you out on it, and then you call us ******.
I for one don't even mind being called a *****. Maybe I am one, I don't care, but at least I have integrity.
You create bad karma, its going to come back and bite you in the ***...

I stand by my original post. 
I understand your frustration but if you would have bought the part for Autozone, would they have paid for the labor? You can't predict how long a part will function, the best they can do is provide you another part.
Respectfully, I think your expectations are a bit unrealistic.

I just finished reading this thread. Kraig, you got some cajones to even show back up here, but to your credit, you did. Show that you deserve those cajones and apologize.

Problems with a supplier? No problems here, I do what I always do, go with the one that has the products or can get them for me. My money talks for me and I spend it where I get the service I desire.

WOW that was a good read!!
This guy is laughable at best!!
Roger sends him a window FREE of charge along with a switch that the buyer paid for than when he finds out its defective threatens Roger and asks the community what we think!! Unbelievable... obviously you haven't been into cars to long because NEW PARTS do fail, its rare BUT it does HAPPEN! Wow no good deed goes un-punished is so true in this case..
Roger it just goes to show you CAN'T please them all especially when there demands are so ridiculous! I have absolutely zero tolerance for this kind of BS and I side with Roger.
Kraig,
If you don't work on your own cars BUY the parts from the SHOP to get the warranty that simple!

Some body needs a big cup of reality.
Roger has went FAR out of his way to help me and MANY others, just like all of the other 928 parts guys.
Grow up.
