Title: Repro coin entry bezel
Post by: MoonDawg on August 31, 2003, 06:41:48 pm
I bought one of the re-made coin entry bezels for an 81 D  a while back and had it chrome plated. It installed well, but I had to remove it today and two of the 6 hold-down tabs broke off.
         While I can still use it, I am disappointed in the product and am passing on this info to the group!

What a disapointment. Its the same with some of the repo stuff for old cars. I'm learning thats it's better to pay the big bucks for OEM and paying to have it redone. If you havn't figured out my name, it's a 1965 nova

It happened to me when I installed it.  2 of the 6 threaded nuts pulled out and now the front left is not square to the coin door.  The overall quality of the repop is very good.  I paid $ 125.00 for mine already chromed.  I was unable to find one used so this was a very good alternative and when it came in I was very happy.  Just wish the screws did not pop of the back when I installed it.

I know this isn't a solution, but has anyone contacted the seller to see about a replacement...?
Something like this needs to be corrected. Perhaps the reproduction process needs to be improved to deliver a better quality product!
