Are they charging to remove it from the car and then fix it? How much would it drop if you pulled it and then took then the unit?

Sounds like that is the only real way to get it done if you want it done right

I just made a thread on how I replaced the seal on my vortech head unit. Look up my threads that I started and it will pop up. It has pics and everything that you need to find the parts. The seal will cost around 20-25 bucks for the viton seal and probably between 15-20 bucks for the seal that lookst like the vortech installed seal.

Chicago raw hide was bought by SKF and they dont make the 7mm deep seal but the 8mm seal will fit. That is if you want viton. Viton is just a stronger rubber and resist break down better than nitrile.

It took me about 20 minutes to take the case apart, knock seal out, clean, install seal and put the case back together.

I also did this with simple hand tools.
