[Paddlewise] Split Deck/Hull seam--Again! What do you think?

Ok, here's a tough one:
My QCC kayak has a new 6 inch split in the hull deck seam. It is about a
foot south of the rear hatch.
On their website, QCC states:

"We are so confident that if the seam on your QCC kayak ever fails we will
simply replace your kayak with a brand new one, period!"

When my first QCC seam split a year and a half ago after 3 years, they sent
me a new boat--two actually, the first having been run into by a forklift at
the trucking company.
Needless to say, they aren't going to be happy when I call!!!

You folks have seen my videos; do you think I'm abusing my boat beyond
what's reasonable? Am I unreasonable to ask them to live up to their
warrantee AGAIN? Should I cram the split with chewing gum and go on my merry
way?

I need the collective conscience of Paddlewise!!!
