1. Warranty still in effect?

2. Glue?

3. Whalen!

1) Nope.
2) Thought about it, but might be considering a better aftermarket ****...
3) ...thought about it, but realized a Whalen costs $150.

3. true, but when I sold mine for a GEN1 I got over 50% of the purchase price in 24 hours. Can't say I'd expect that for reselling any other aftermarket....
