Yea, mine lasted, I think a year as well. I don't think I was generous enough with the 3M goop on that side.....
This is my 3rd Crossfire, it sat a lot and has been a lot of trouble - but I still love my car.
With the alternator failing (and the replacement dying in two months), the valve cover leak (fixed that right the FIRST time!), and then a weak battery taking out the airbag module (go ahead, try to get 5 or 6 years out of a battery - let me know how lucky YOU are) - I've learned SO much more about these cars.
More to the point, I've fixed stuff I'd not normally attempt on my own.
