C pillar Skewed

Has anybody else had a warped C pillar either side ? I am having mine replaced under warranty. The tech says it has happened on a DE Lancer where the clips were replaced, but it turned out that the piece was actually warped too.

Soon to be replaced by dealer. The service manager is inclined to believe that they are researching this problem. It has taken two weeks to get it so far.

I don't understand how the whole car doesn't just melt into a plastic blob considering it's summer time in Florida. I don't know how I ever drove around there -without A/C.

Time to get some window skirts and leave the windows cracked during the day to vent some heat.
