I had exactly two times the same product fault. 1st time Specialized try to glue it. This fix was good for two years. The 2nd time Specialized said they do not repair these kind of product faults. they offered me a replacement frame for 2900€. I thougth first this is a joke. Is this what they called life time warrenty for frames? I own 5 Bikes from Specialized but pretty sure I will not go for number 6.
I will try on my own now to glue this like some of you already mentioned...
For others reading this and you, I have heard of sticking something under the post to hold it up and just glueing it in, I am pretty sure getting that insert to hold is going to be hard, i know specialized tried on my first one and failed then gave me a new 2018 frame, also I am pretty sure 2016 and newer shivs have a insert that is more like a T or a J shape so they don't twist out like the older models.
The seatpost will only a certain depth into the frame, so in theory you could use a section of seatpost of the right length to position your post at the correct height. I doubt the frame is designed to take load in that way, so epoxying the post in place as an additional step would make sense....assuming you never plan on changing the post height or saddle.
I had a 2012 frame with the clamp issue (replaced under warranty....after some arguing with Specialized).
