Anderson has tried to patch them for allmost a year. Now they have decided replacement is the only answer. Now replacing them is a major project as all the trim has to come off and it is a 3 story house. I will post back as to what is done about the door.

I generally say alot of positive things about Andersen. When their $10 an hour staff can sit two time zones away and blame installers for Andersen's errors I begin to have negative feelings. It would help them if they held regional training classes for installers and certified them. These certified installers could then determine if their product was defective prior to the installation. Andersen is in the process of downsizing due to the market, I was hoping that this would increase quality.
When the door slab is replaced in 12 weeks let me know how it works.
In regards to bowed panels it is hard to guess the percentage, defective runs come and go. We had 5 PS (vinyl in/out) doors with defective weatherstripping within a month last fall. The doors actually leaked air and in one case water. Come to think of it we are still waiting for some parts.......
BTW the Andersen FHG on my house works great and does not leak even with the winds we get on a lake.
