Broken Rubbers??
Okay - so I went ahead and bought a "repaint rubber kit" a while back. Rubber parts have been on the truck for about 2-3 months and are already cracking!! Door handle seals, fuel neck filler - look worse than the stock (34 year old stock ones) did!!!
Anyone have this happen / is there a place to get GOOD rubber parts from? Any suggestions appreciated... I'm a little miffed that the ol girl is just barely getting back on the road and the rubber parts are already cracked! Maybe there is some kind of sealant / treatment to apply... TIA Last edited by BobRitts; 11-11-2006 at 12:13 PM. |

Re: Broken Rubbers??
get ahold of the company that you got them from and let them know how unhappy you are and let them know what the problem is. the ones you got could have been froma bad batch of rubber. i had bought a CD player in 04 it workded for about 2 weeks and everything worked and sounded great. one day go to turn the cd player on and i had no vocals, i thought it was the radio station that had dead air time, and out of no where POP flap flap flap it blew out all my speakers (including my $300 sub) long story short i sent it back with a note telling them what had happened and said that they could keep their paper weight. about three weeks later i got a replacement CD player speakers and sub, all the same exact ones as before. if you buy something and it goes bad in no time the company will usually go out of their way to make it good.

Yeah let the people know who you got it from, they do usually go out of their way to make you happy. Word of mouth gets around pretty quick. BAD advertising!! if you know what I mean. they don't want that, or they wouldn't be in business.
As for a quality rubber parts. My preference is Soff seal. thats me though. |
