Roof Rail Replacement Kits

[rb26stagea]

Hi Guys...

I have spoken with andrew, and he assures me they're juuuuust about done: ready to go into the oven ( I assume for undercoating)...

Apparently we should expect them on our doorsteps mid February. He has apologised profusely for the delays so far, and said he'll be in more regular contact from now on (although exactly how much we will need to know in the next 2 weeks is a moot point...).

So, there you have it.

To anyone else who's interested, I'll be getting my kit fitted pretty much straight away: I'll post pics when it's done!

That for the update Micah

I have changed jobs, so Andrew will no longer have my email. I will get in touch with him

Cheers

Ok: just spoke with him again, and there will be a small delay (as usual): He has assured me he is onto it (we had quite a long and informative chat), and they will be ready ASAP - within the next couple of weeks. Patience, peeps!

I'll keep you guys in the loop as things develop.

I have contacted Andrew again, as there was no word from him, and the kits were at least a week overdue after his last expected date.

Long story short, he is HOPING to have them ready for shipment mid next week.

Getting frustrated now...

Haha... It has been a very long ordeal. Im sure everyone including myself will be stoked once we get them. Have you had your roof rails out this entire time waiting for the replacments?

I've had them off for over a year now: this whole thing started when another Gold Coast workshop stuffed me around for 7 months, after quoting me 2 weeks to modify the rails I bought from Japan.

Note to all who buy the kit: I discovered some light surface rust on the roof under where the rails sit, and am unsure (and doubt) if the original removal of my rails caused it: could be like the "rust under the mirrors" problem - if the rest of you guys find the same thing, then we can assume it's another common issue....

Guys

Andrew needs to know if your car has sun roofs, as they will need different mounting bolts to cars without.

An email has been sent to let him know

PS

My car had NO rust under the rails

[rb26stagea]

ok: He's finishing up the kits today or tomorrow: he has promised to send pics of the finished product asap. Assuming we're all happy, we can then pay the balance, and they should be on their way to us late this week/early next week...

what ever happened to this?

what ever happened to this?

After 13-14 month wait they turned up last week.

I have tried a quick fit and they fit like shit. Not too happy with them

Will be a couple of weeks before I get time to refit and rework them.
