An Open Letter To 914Rubber, Concerning Rear Targa Pads Options

[Ansbacher]

Dear Mikey at 914Rubber,

At this moment I am only speaking for myself, but there might very well be other 914World members who are in the same boat and agree with the following proposal:

Many of us with split, tattered, or otherwise unbecoming Rear Targa Pads have been patiently waiting for the "correct finish" 914Rubber version to be available. In the interim you have made available the AA version. For those of us who truly want the "correct" version but are sort of in limbo as we wait for their availability, would you consider a program whereby if we buy an AA version from you, you would then offer a reasonable trade-in/purchase price when the correct version is ready for market? This would give members a chance to spruce up their cars in the near term knowing that part of their initial investment in an AA version will go toward a correct version eventually.

Regardless of how you respond to this idea, I am extremely grateful for the products you make available and wish you continued success.

Did you write a direct letter before the open letter? It seems silly to bring this to public if you haven't. What response did you get before you brought this here?

No, I did not. I know that Mikey monitors this forum. I was counting on input from other members so he would have a better understanding of how the community felt about this issue before he answers. Apparently I am on an island of my own. I was just trying to be a savvy consumer and seek out the best deal possible for myself and others who are awaiting the 914Rubber product. Unfortunately it only seems to have drawn out the snarkiness in some. Sometimes it's just not worth it.
