I was in on the first purchase of the group buy. I should be on the list to receive a replacement. I called and talked to your guys a few times. You can see from the pictures I posted and my communication from previous posts how deformed the latch openings are. Just wanted to know when I might expect to get a replacement.

Thanks,
Jsaum

I don’t think a new roll bar pad will fix the fact your latch handle is not returning to the upright position. I had asked you to send me some pics so I could walk you through this.
I will give you a full refund upon return. PM
me your specific info. I will forward a label.

You are correct. Everyone that purchased these will get the covers at no extra charge. I will be emailing everyone directly. We are creating unique one time codes for them, so that they can be ordered off the website at no cost. You can use them or not it's your choice. It's going to be a few days before we can have this all set up on the site. There will also be some other thank yous too.


Did I miss an email somewhere? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It would be nice to see better pictures of the installed finished product with these new covers. I can't say I was really convinced by the ones shown on post #294 and #295. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Also are all the screw holes lining up to the roll bar? if not which ones don't and what should be the best steps (screw sequence) to install the pad?

Thank you.

I can't remember any of the screw holes being remotely the same between any of my 914's so I'm going to guess not. It shouldn't be a problem drilling new holes though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I apologize in advance if this is repetitive, I did not read through the thread. I was in on the first group buy and installed mine without too many issues. The problem I had was when I tried to install the latch cover, I broke mine trying to get them to fit. I was under the impression that new latch covers were going to be made to remedy this.
Has anybody heard anything about these?

By the way the roll bar pad looks great! All I need is a latch cover that will fit properly.

Cheers,
John

Latch covers are starting to go out tomorrow. Also check your email I think you will have a pleasant surprise.

We will be going through our inventory and sorting these out, but they will have to be fitted to check so the process will be longer. Right now we are prepping for Black Friday and will open these back up after we can check. We will be retooling to make these more consistent as well as adding some fixtures to make the process more production friendly, and consistent.

I also agree. I've spent my career as a quality assurance professional and even some of the best planned and executed design validations and process qualifications can sometimes result in unexpected issues that customer's end up dealing with. Even if there was an obvious misstep in manufacturing, at the end of the day, manufacturers/suppliers will be remembered by the level of integrity they use to manage the customer. Believe me, I've sent my fair share of apology emails and phone calls. Customer perception is critical! Well done Mark!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
