Carl ,
I am envious that you have the A-1 Advanced Design Parts store just up the street that you can just walk to for your parts , however most of us rely on the internet parts venders and their claims of how their parts fit . In my experience 99% of the parts I buy in my “ internet-derived “ buying sprees fit just the way expected , and of course I have bought some pretty bad knockoffs but I knew that going in and not use and shelved ……...Not this time……
The discussion about the quality of headliners seems to be ancient , I decided to hopefully become part of a solution , not to help myself per se because I am already out part money + shipping , but to help the next guy who comes along and pay good money for a bad part .
We also had to suppliers Classic Parts of a America and BowtieBits taking your position that it is the buyers fault .
Yes , it seems that Rick and NPD is also trying to find a solution , it is highly beneficial for him to do so on many fronts , first he can sell this part with the utmost confidence that it will fit , and also he gets his admittedly Chevy Truck startup catalog face time in a very good market with Stovebolt .. Smart business savvy in my opinion.
So before we start blaming bad parts on internet buying inept wannabes , lets see how this plays out before assigning blame .
