Someone earlier / this thread said:
"thank God for G Body parts" ... well: "I
was one of those" / as they have always done right by me ...
"that is till now".
What happened was about 5-6 years ago; I ordered some G car
"power seat plates", (as I wanted to convert my manual-tracks / to that of a power - track) .... SO, upon buying these "plates" / (along with some brackets to mount same, or so I was told as they are useless), I later found them to be TOTALLY unusable / and later: I threw them away.
"They" (then) assured me that that these were in fact
"NOT working-out", and that they'd let me know when a possible "corrected 2nd run-version" was available / and that they "were WORKING the PROBLEM". I took it at face value / accepted this .......................................................
Enter 5+ years later:
I contacted someone there, (appx. 3 weeks ago) and I specifically asked "them" / IF these cover-plates (still listed for sale) were in fact
NOW "redesigned" ... and "their" answer was "YES", *"we pitched all the one's we had / in leu of their corrected replacement's / as they now fit very nicely" ... and yes:
"we have both the rt. and left sides" in stock, and their available. I then prefaced the above conversation, (amid my earlier "promise"), and to make a long story short; I ended up p
aying (again), for a second set, /// *as I too "pitched" mine / just as (again), 'they' P
ITCHED THEIRS ... results (
my conclusion) "my remarks were "heir say".
Fact: I've long been a 'Brian fan', ... so I wasn't going to snicker about it ... (the $) ... "
but I made it clear that I felt this situation merited it".
End run: I spent 200 and some bucks MORE, and invested that expense into the same cappy plates !
... *and these
"new-one's" were NO-DIFFEREENT then THE FIRST TIME versions .... "or the 'old one's' / that I had purchased years earlier", and these too, had to be "re-engineered " right outa the gate !. Look: I hate a whiner ... "I can't stand a kiss-ass's / won't tolerate whine ass's" ... but: "can someone tell me WHY I need to "break-off the attack" / and go watch "Flight of the Phoenix" / for something as STUPID as a power switch plate" !???.
THOUGHT: so why can't G/B just say:
"we know for a fact these NOW "work" !! ... as again; '
THEY' said:
"we threw ALL the earlier plates OUT".
Later, I would articulate my 'dissatisfaction' (amid nearly 25-30 pictures, depicting misaligned holes, poor plate "contouring", and how I had to, and was TRYING to "redesign these things ta FIT") ! ... besides: "how am I goanna turn-back now" ? ... *I found / b
ought: 2 power-seat tracks, the cover plates, bought the switches, all the wiring / and power districts .... and "spent the farm"
on the assumption that I had a shred of honesty here ... and while (in the end), I did get one side to "go", WHY do I have to "re-invent the plate" here ?? !!! ...
*Just like those silly gage pod "A Pillar" gage holders ... "these fit for crap and should
NOT be sold".
I WANT A PART THAT FITS ! ... "easy" ?.
If there's a tiny bit of "personality"
GREAT ...
"but not a total reengineering job relocating holes, buying two-part epoxy, and grinding / filing a new "wall-structure" in these plates" ! ... "The hot glued screw holes fell-out / by just t
ouching them" / and the geometry / screw angles were all wrong / and in-correct". Again: pictures tell the story / I sent them along.
Back at the time "Claude" was theeee "authority" on power seat conversion / and man o' man he was a GREAT help !
Epilogue: SO, after my "frank" / but 'very pleasant communication': I have / as of yet: heard nothing back because ... "THEIR IN A MEETING" (for day after day now). Lastly: I'll still take "the hi-road" ... "but God I hate to beat this ta death", as-again: I specifically ASKED THEM first ! ...
and the last thing I EVER wanted was "something for nothing", but comon:
NOT THIS. THIS is total bull-crap, and IF I don't here back soon, I will NEVER support them again / DONE. "
I don't deserve this".
