<VV> Frustration with Clark's Corvair

[Gary Swiatowy]

I'm taking a guess here and figure Clark's may be buying the carpet
elsewhere already cut. They probably have shelves full of them ready to go
and do not actually make them to order.
You probably would be better off buying carpet and cutting your own.

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!
