This note adds no new facts. It points to a journal entry already on this archive. The journal entry for 2024-12-04 records a public German-language L-Camera-Forum thread in which owners discuss Sensorglas tauschen in the EU after the alleged HQ stop. The thread summary already on file says owners report that Leica will not replace, and names workshops in Hamburg, Warsaw, and China as places people talked about for glass work. That is a summary of a public forum discussion, recorded as alleged; it is not a court finding.
Why it sits in this file: the same post-stop pattern appears elsewhere on the archive. The third-party cover-glass note already ties that December 2024 EU thread to the 2021 Kolari ~$999 path. The glass-swap vs upgrade note and the alleged 2020 stop (with the August 2020 rumors journal) set the timeline: after official CCD replacement was said to have ended, owners looked outside Wetzlar for cover-glass work. Read against the 2014 promise of free sensor replacement regardless of age, the record shows a repair path that, as alleged, became a third-party discussion. The side-by-side promises page sets the dates out in one place.
