<VV> Frustration with Clark's Corvair

[Arlette Carl]

Hi everyone,

 

Like many of you I purchase a lot of parts from Clarks Corvair parts and in the past year or two have spend thousands of dollars with them.

 

For the most part I have to say that my experience in dealing with Clarks has been a positive one. However a recent molding carpet order has shown me that Clarks are totally inflexible when it comes to handling even simple requests that are even a little out of the normal.

 

Clark's as I see it, simply sell stock items and even a simple request is totally beyond their capacity to deal with.

 

My most recent order was for a molded carpet set order to suit a 1965-69 Corvair. I asked that these carpets be supplied as follows:  

 

1. With vinyl heel pad not attached (NOT SEWN TO THE CARPET) but supplied nevertheless. 

 


2.  That no holes are cut for the accelerator pedal and head lamp dimmer switches.
 
I explained that these carpets would be installed in a right hand drive car and that I would fit the heel pad and cut the holes on the right hand side of car
 
Well Clark's could not deal with this simple request and  I told me that the heel pad must be installed on the left hand side and the holes have to be cut on the left hand side. In short it was just to difficult the leave the molded carpet set uncut. Why this is so difficult is very hard for me to understand?
 
Anyway I am ordering the carpets in left hand drive form and will have to try to undo the damage to them when i receive them.
 
Am I expecting to much from Clarks?  I would hate to see how Clark's would deal with a difficult modification!
