<VV> RE: Replacing Original Upholstery (kenneth dawson)

[J R Read_HML]

Dave...

The OWNER of the shop, actually a string of shops, is a personal friend for 
over 12 yrs.  He does the work (basically) at cost for me.  We play poker 
together.  We go on Corvair adventures together - he owns a '64 convert.  He 
wants things to be RIGHT for me and I'm sure I get better treatment than the 
average guy off the street.  He is not giving me any BS.

He had to do the interior TWICE.  I showed the first one to Cal and he 
agreed that it was defective and replaced it.  Got to give Cal credit for 
warrantying the product.  But, I had to pay for installation twice.  The 
second one was better, but still had its problems (as mentioned previously).

The top boot is still not right - the rubber on the leading edge is sown off 
center - but I'm living with it.

The material on the driver door is currently ungluing itself at the top edge 
and sticking up in an unsightly fashion.

I could go on, but won't.  I'm sticking by my previous statement that C's 
interiors are basically correct, but not always as good as you'd like them 
to be and sometimes need a bit of help.

I'm happy for you that you've never had a problem, but problems do occur.
