    I finally got a response from her via FB messenger. She advised me to go through the refund/return email address instead of warranty, even though the description of my issues is a warranty issue according to her policies page. Main reason is that due to manufacturing inconsistencies with my handle, the return is due to no fault of my own. But going through the return/refund method according to her policy page, the item is subject to a 15% restocking fee. So i asked her about it, and she danced around the topic as I expected. Said they would need to "inspect" the item once I pay to have it shipped back and then would determine whether to issue a full refund, refund minus restocking fee or deny it all together. I even asked that it is all due to no fault of my own so i shouldn't have to pay a restocking fee and her response was another song a dance of "we'll inspect it and I promise we'll take care of you", blah blah fucking blah.

    She does that shit on purpose so she has the product back in hand before making a determination so if I don't like the determination, I either have to pay for it to be shipped a 2nd time or accept whatever her terms of the refund are. Fucking snake.

    I guess you can take me off the exchange list @tonered, believe it or not I actually got a lower cover sent to me from her. Only took 3 days to get from OR to TN this time. I still can’t believe it. But on a sad note I didn’t get a pen with my replacement cover All I got was a plagiarized sticker lol

    Ditto. :pout:

    At least I finally received a mostly undamaged handle (one of the tabs where it connects to the pillar was snapped off but oh well). Now I just need to set aside an afternoon to fight with the install.

    The last thing I want is a KTJO 4x4 sticker. If some really wants it, before I burn it, hit me up.

    At least I always get a sticker from @MESO - but there's a box in the mail now so we'll see. :D

    Thinking about switching some/all of my trim pieces to Army Green so I ordered the climate control knobs first to see if I like it. I did the full MESO blackout this summer but liking the look of the AG - at least for some of them.

    That’s helpful, thanks. Yeah, I did take a look after you posted and think it’s quite possible that’s the issue, though I’ll have to take it off again to, like you, sand it down properly. I might just try to glue/tape it in first.

    I’m trying to force myself to use the handle because I got so used to not having one that I don’t go for it naturally.

    Gotta save it, dude. We’ll slap it on the bottle of Thunderbird at the bonfire and pass it around.
