I've been getting some bad parts (fit, etc.) lately, and I'm wondering if the members here would share any parts they've gotten (particularly for the AD's) that weren't up to snuff, and where they came from? I just sent back some stuff to Classic Parts that weren't right, by my opinion, and had to pay for the shipping because I hadn't tried putting them in. One was trim that obviously wasn't cut right from the 'factory' in Taiwan, the other the windshield rubber. For the second time in a few months, I talked to CP on the phone and got the "we've sold XXXX of these parts and never had a problem. We put them in here and they work". Well, I'm not going to attempt to install something I know isn't right, or if I install it and it's wrong, I'll be sitting with a useless truck for the week(s) it takes to get the right part, not to mention the griping from the supplier about parts scratched or bent or sealer smudges after attempting to make the bad part work. I'm not trying to start a supplier slamming thread, but I AM trying to not get stuck paying return shipping for parts that should have never made it past QC. So, if there's anyone who had been sent obviously sub-par parts or material, I'd like to see what NOT to buy from any given parts house. Thanks! Lee Butcher
Lee,
If it is any consolation, you are not alone. There are a bunch of junk parts being sold and so far I haven't seen any of the parts houses step up to the plate to make things right. Looks like we the consuming "sheep" have been sold a bill of goods with this Chinese crap and it has become the accepted new normal. Sorry to hear you are having the same problem.
