That methodology is what let's companies from McDonalds to sell their burgers to Keystone selling their trailers at the affordable price points for the "average" person to afford.

A friend of mine has a 2012 Camaro, the AC quit working and he took it to the mechanics I use... They told him they would not fix the car as it had a leak in the evaporator and replacing that required removal of the windshield, so they could get to the bolts to remove the dash.
He took it to a Chevy dealer and they told him if the windshield crack when they removed it... it would be his expense to replace.
Guess what... $600 for the new windshield and $2600 total for the repair.
Someone should be shot for a crappy design like that.
