Nothing was done that would even come close to invalidating a warranty. As I stated earlier I removed the roof rack so I would know what I was talking about when I did go to the dealer to fix the problem, I doubt they know anything about it yet. Thinking I had identified the problem I added some rubber to the leak points, didn't work...now it's at the dealer.
As far as having the dealer tear the $hit out of my car every time I have a perceived problem, that's just dumb and inconvenient...if it turns out to be a real problem then by all means...

t' , I hope you don't think I was blasting, or shaming, you for trying to locate and fix the problem yourself. Please don't take it that way. I truly do appreciate all the good information, and pictures, that you've posted thus far. All I was trying to say is that, for what you paid for this car, you shouldn't have to put your own blood, sweat, and tears, into figuring out a manufacturer's defect.
One more thing, the Toyota Motor Company keeps a nationwide data base of such issues and defects. That way the can analyze where the problem is, be it the port, as specific region, etc. If you don't take it to them, they're unaware that you own an "affected vehicle" if that makes sense. In other words your not contributing to a possible recall.
