Write a letter to your local newspaper and the Better Business
Bureau.
Send it to Lowes and tell them what your problem is and that if
they
don't fix it this time, that letter is going to be sent to the
addressees.

That usually works pretty good for me.

I'm not interested in going that route, I just want to stop the
damage
from spreading.


The reason that big box stores such as Lowe's and Home Despot can
offer such a low price on installed products is that they pick the
lowest bidder at the time to do the work for them. They count on
their installed products going into houses that are being flipped,
rented, or into other situations in which the end user is likely not
to complain about the shoddy workmanship.

They also count on nice people, such as yourself, not wanting to
"trouble them" with complaints. By not holding them accountable,
the cycle continues, and more people will continue to fall victim to
their practices.

And if you don't want to go the route I suggested, you might as well
leave it as it is. Here's what you're up against. When it comes
unglued, the glue is still there. And it gathers dirt, dust and
whatever. And just injecting more glue is a waste because until you
get all that old glue up and clean the area spic and span, all the
repairs in the world are not going to work. You need to have the
installers come out, cut about a three foot wide section out and
replace it properly. What you will have then, if you get shoddy
workmanship, is TWO place that could come unseamed, but if you get
good workmanship, your problem is solved.

If you change your mind and go the route I usggested, add the local TV
consumer reporter to the addresses.
