Stupid pad somehow got super heated and bonded to the rotor.. Now the stealership wants 4600$ for new pads, new rotors... And they advised me there is a cooldown procedure to drive it in the rain... A ten minute drive to my house... Hardly used the brakes its a manual... i just can't believe it.... I'm starting to suspect they took it for a drive in the rain and got the brakes over heated....

It's quite hard to believe that the pads, let alone the rotors, would heat up so much on a normal drive in the wet. Have you tried to break the pads away from the rotors with some torque? Or did the pads disintegrate already when you tried? Even if yes, I don't see why your rotors would not be usable...

Also, if necessary, you can do this brake job yourself, you can buy new rotors and pads for half that money, if that.
