Your car and your decision, but there is now way in hell that I would be doing a road trip under those conditions. Do yourself a favor and get the car fixed before you leave town.
Yeah this could be a poor choice but..rock and a hard place. I did set a service appt for soonest availabe time of the 11th next week. Who knows if that will happen since I have seen the lack of availability for replacements going on right now.
I also tent a text to my ranger asking I could pay him labor to remove and reinstall for me, if so I can ship the board off for an expedited return and still make the trip out.
