R.E.M. vinyl console shrinking and not sticky enough
« on: January 11, 2017 - 07:24:46 PM »
Has anyone have any experience with R.E.M. vinyl console shrinking and not sticky enough to stick to the console bezel? I bought this a while back, just opened th eplastic to install it on the console plat and noticed it was quite a bit smaller and very little glue.  I went to www.remautoinc.com, found  "For information on a specific product, please click on: Product question".... which is a dead end.

There's a reason Jim Filmore (DMT) started making them....  REM products are mostly junk... Unfortunately they make some things you can't get elsewhere.... Hopefully Jim will take on trunk mats... Or maybe ECS will do them.... I hate when a company makes something poorly but because it's already out there another vendor doesn't want to invest his $$$....

Big thumbs up for the DMT woodgrain. I put a set in mine years ago and they look perfect. VERY accurate cuts.

I think my REM vinyl was purchased and sitting on my shelf for 10 years before I ended up using it.  It worked just fine for me.  If I was buying "today" however, it would be from DMT.
