Had to bring it back to have them repair the paint. Next time it will be a DIY. The light cost approximately $60, which is well worth the peace of mind knowing it was done right.
After my third visit for this issue, I got fed up and just decided to replace it myself when it breaks....So far, I'm going on a year with the current one with no cracks....I made sure not to tighten the spring loaded bolt and fastener so maybe that's why mine has lasted
