We are working on the covers still. Everyone that has bought a roll bar will be getting a new metal latch cover set. We are making some improvements on them too. It will resolve the issue and make it a better looking part.

It's been a painful process. Also there will be additional considerations I will contact all that have bought these as it progresses.

Mark


yehey! Thank you again Mark! I will be installing the roll bar pad soon!

bbrock thanks for the pic.

My current roll bar pad isn't in great shape, but I don't want to swap it out if it's not possible to get the 1st gen pad to lay straight. If that's the case I'll be looking to return mine or preferably swap it for a correctly fitting version if that becomes an option.

I've been meaning to share my experience and pics of my install. Full caveat: I'm not nearly as skilled at these things as Brent @bbrock , so give his experience more weight than mine.

Having said that, it was a bit of a challenge to get it installed. Even after grinding the sides down with a dremel, I really couldn't get the latch covers installed very well. I'm looking forward to the 914Rubber version of those. I had one corner that fit well, and one that didn't fit as well for some reason. Unlike Brent, I was able to get the screws in on the forward portion of the pad without too much realignment. I used #6 x 1 inch sheet metal screws (longest #6 they had in stock at Lowes). I think I got all but one in ok. The underside were a different story (the ones that point up into the bar). I got one or two of those in and then gave up after a while.

Overall, it looks MUCH better than my old cracked one that was pretty much missing the corner. Version 2.0 should be much better, although it wasn't my intention to be on the "bleeding edge" of this product. The price was very reasonable, though, the texture is very close, and along with the new vinyl and side chrome pieces it all looks MUCH better than before -- more so when latch covers are available, I presume.

Thank you for sharing!

Like many, mine is also in the box. I am far away in my project from being ready to install it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I am too very concerned by the wave in the currently "non" rectangular area. Mark told me once the part will be properly screwed on the car, it will straighten and set right, but from most of the current installed pictures I have seen, I can still see some deformation in that area.

I am staying hopeful and positive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Updates being set our to all that bought this week. We have the latch covers designed and started tooling for foundry. Look for an update via email.

As soon as we take care of those that have already bought these we will open back up the sales on these.

Thanks for the quick response Mark. I appreciate it and the effort you put into providing us teeners with parts to keep our cars on the road.

Just trying to get production finished to get to finishing. Seems like these things take longer than planned. We have 2 attachment prongs that need to be attached and it’s taking some time there.

I’ll post an update as soon as they go to finishing.
Also will send out the email promised to those that have bought the roll bar too.

Thanks
Mark

The latches actually are ready, but need to edit video on install should have progress on it this next week.
Taking the weekend to drive to Montana to pick up another 914, otherwise I’d be working on it.
