Yup USPS is the same way and ups. Your only chance of a claim is when something is lost.

It's why I have the buyer make all the shipping arrangements for big stuff like engines, trans and larger out of country purchases. I take a picture of it going on the truck and then I'm done. Otherwise, I'm held responsible for the item making it to them in good condition when it's totally out of my control.

Spent a little me time last night.. Put 3/8" foam referenced earlier in this thread on the inside of the firewall then put the perlon on.. It turned out nice. Only spots that need to be sucked in are the seat belt retractor pockets. My son wanted to put the seat so did that.. 1st time since owned the car seat was actually bolted in.. Attached Image

Had 20 minutes to spare today and tried to get the wiring harness installed in the engine compartment. Well that didn't actually go as planned. I had it all ready to button up and the end that attaches to the upper engine shelf. It appears its the wrong part from 914 rubber. @mikey914 was there some incorrect ones out there?Attached Image

That's odd. Mine fit just a tad loose but it clipped into that hole okay. Is that the original shelf piece? I had to fold mine back on itself to shorten a bit to accommodate the shorter length for a /4, but other than that, it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
