A mouse got into my engine of my 04 Corvette, and ate away the insulation lining under the hood of the car. I call the insurance company and they say I am covered under my comprehensive to replace the insulator and to check for any other damage done by the mice; like chewing the wires, etc. Well, these mice stuffed this insulation into the air vents of the alternator, and may well have been inside it too, while building this nest. The insurance claims man says they will take care of the insulator and also any chewed up wiring, but they won't pay to get my alternator cleaned out. The key word is "clean". He says it's a simple clean; I say it is a "repair", as the mice may have damaged the alternator by filling it with their nest. The dealer says they have to take the alternator off and dissassemble it to see if it is damaged and to clean it too, but this will cost a LOT. Should the ins co. be paying for this or not?
