Squeal noise from front Brakes

hi.

Anyone from Canada or Montreal area got their brakes fix by the new Service Bulletin?

I showed my dealer the Service Bulletin and again they haven't hear anything yet about that...

Right after (and I do mean _right_ after) I got my dealership to mount my winter tires, my brakes started squealing.

They filed the rotors, but that didn't help. In fact, it would have been nice for them to find that out. They didn't, so I drove right back to the dealership and showed them the TSB, which I'd already printed out.

My new brake pads are on order, but it'll take another week or so before they're in.

My squeal has gone down, though. The dealership claimed that changing the wheels out couldn't affect brake squeal, but it was an awfully strange bit of timing, then, since I never had any squeal before.

Oh well.
