Thanks guys.
Dilligaf: Thats some great photo work but it doesn't really tell me where they were made, the fit etc?
Hi NZ,
Here is the complete Poopy Pants comments I sent to YO.
Use it and look at my pictures and you will ahve a better idea:
snip>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Then we were struggling on where to order our interior parts. Other Mopar
enthisiasts were promoting Legendary, others Year One. I called Legendary and
they were considerably less money than Year One.
But looking to get the same good experience I had enjoyed in the past with other
Year One orders, I ordered from your folks the following:
-Front and Rear Interior Door panels.
-Front lower Kickpanels.
-Windshield Post moldings.
We were stressed to find we had to wait 10-12 weeks for the panels, but it had
been five years already so a few more weeks big deal.
Well the Door Panels showed up and they were damaged. Not in shipping but
warehouse, the boxes were perfect.
So we called year one (Nate?) and explained the problem, they said no problem we
will send another set, assure they are good before you send the old ones back.
So another long period goes buy and the second set shows up, damaged as well.
Again warehouse damage. the boxes were perfect. I was choked.
We called again and he said well we will send another set.
Well they arrived and they to were damaged.
We called Nate again and his statement was "this is costing us far to much money
sending you panels" You will have to either pack all of it up and send it back
for a full refund, or get them repaired and we will reimburse you.
We test fit these panels and they are a Joke.
-Screw holes do not line up.
-the bottom door clip locations some are right and then they get all out of
order.
-When the innter door handle is on, you can not opne the doors, it hits the
panels, I have taken digital photos of this, and I know from the Mopar
newsgroups and forums I am not the only one with poor fit.
-No remote mirror cut out.
A heat gun has to be used to heat the panel and stretch it at the bottom rear of
the door to get it ot go over the actual door.
These are a substandard product period.
The rear door panels had their own disapointment the biggest being that you have
to cut the opening in the panel for the seat belts to go through as well as the
slit all the way up, to get a seat belt in there, again none of the predrilled
hols line up due to the very poor fit.
The MFR of these panels should scribe, or provide a template on where to cut.
And Year One should indicate on their advertisement of this product that this
cutting is required.
I will tell you right now that the poor fit was consistent on all three sets of
panels we had here.
We picked the best pieces and got them installed in the car, after a lot of
cutting and heating etc. The panles are of a much thicker material, and the
faces of the panels rub and have removed the finish where the doors open and
close.
This car is not a backyard restoration, everything is aligned correctly, and the
body shop, and Color-Glo Canada have all shook there heads when looking over
this situation.
It is going to cost us an estimated $400.00 from Color Glo Canada to do final
fitting, hating, crack repair from shipping etc to get these panels to an
acceptable state.
We have waited so long on this that to send all of this back to you and try with
a different vendor is not in our interest, we will try and make the best of a
crappy situation.
The kick panels, and the windshiled pillar moldings etc are another joke in
themselves. I am not being rude, I am being honest.
The little legs on the the top of the kick panel, or the leg on the bottom of
the windshield pillar molding do not line up to make a complete finished piece.
And the pillare moldings I have had to file and grind and file and grind a lot
of material off to even get close to the originals so they fit.
I have digital photos of all of this, showing the quality of the car, and the
lack of quality of the repro parts and would love for you to see them so I need
to know where to send them.
