Cabinet top laminate installation

I have a relatively new 2004 3023 TM. When I got it home, the first thing I did was to set it up and position all items in their respective positions. I noticed that the laminate on the moveable microwave shelf (to the right of the cooktop) was broken on the edge. After inspecting it (as well as the other laminate edges), I found that the laminate was installed incorrectly. The edges of the cabinet tops was broken in three other locations too.
The installation procedure used by TM is a common mistake made by amateurs who are building cabinet tops for the first time. TM installs the laminate on the top of the top material then installs the edges last. If the edges are not trimmed exactly right, as you drag items off the top of the cabinet, they catch on the edge laminate and break or tear loose the edge.
The proper procedure is to attach the edges first, trim with a laminate trimmer, sand smooth, then apply the laminate to the top of the sheet.
After the improper technique is done, there is no recourse for the top unless you remove tops, remove laminate, and re-apply. I'll probably use the trailer for a few years, put up with the broken edges, then replace all cabinet tops in the trailer. What a pain!
TM could alter their procedure and avoid this irritant.
