Running water instead of a glove box. Sound neat?

I found this TSB on exactly my issue here -> Mazda3 (on left side) -> MT000004208 - SPLASHING SOUND FROM INSIDE DASH DURING COLD START (6th one down)

Now, I don't want to be one of those people that tells the dealer how to do its job but it's really annoying how the dealer told me that this was "normal" and besides that, if I printed this out and showed it to them, the guy at the front would probably look at it, throw it away, and say "what's your point?"

I almost want to tell them that it's my car and if you can't fix it then I'll do it myself and expect to get warranty work if something happens.
Then my other option is to just e-mail Mazda USA and see what they say.

Even though this TSB isn't technically in my year, has anybody in general had this issue and how was it resolved?

Please HELP ME OUT BROS!!!!

(honestly, do dealers even check for TSB's that worked on previous models for compatibility for the new models?)

No really, I don't want to hear if anybody had this problem. Please please please, don't reply.
 
Reading that TSB doesn't show anything as far as any special tools other than your eyes, hands and foot. Eyes - check your coolant level, fill if necessary. Hands - take coolant cap off radiator and put back on. Foot - hold rpm's steady to help bleed air out of the system. I wouldn't waste 3 hours at the dealer to accomplish this task and I didn't read anything in there that you could possibly screw up that would void a warranty.
 
I'm not in a M3, but i do have a rushing fluids sound from my glovebox area as well in my Pro5.

Noone knows what it is yet
 
I mean Mazda (not my dealer) has told me that it was insufficient bleeding in the coolant system and this TSB says it too. I guess I can try it although my Mazda dealer keeps telling me that it is a-ok and normal operations. Oh well.
