OER Dash Speaker Grills = Junk!

I just finished my restore after two years and took my car to work today. When I went back to my car during lunch I found the two new speaker grills all distorted and warped! Geez, the car was only out there for 4 hours and those piece of junk speaker covers look like I took a blow torch to them.... So please do not buy these from Classic Industries, or whom ever sells them.

Rant over.

OER is really hit or miss, mostly miss.

If the stock ones could last 20+ years.. why can't new materials in 2016 last 4 hours in the sun?

Sheesh!

It's bad that with as many resources at their disposal, why can't they test their Chinese repops in real world conditions? IF they are USA made parts, that's even worse-you expect crap from overseas but not from the USA!

Yeah the CHINESE or the big fat rat in the corporate office don't give a s#it if its quality or not. But they will accept your hard earned cash.

$40 dollar of it! However, I just received a call from Classic (because I posted a poor review on the product) and they are offering a full refund. At least customer service isn't dead there like so many other places nowadays. I hope they can work with the mfg and get this issue straightened out.

They should know better, I purchased a set of the lyod style floor mats & they were 4th gen items.Listed as 3rd gen on the site & closeout items, so no returns accepted.

If a smaller operation, like hawks can make quality repo.Classic should be more than able to.

OER makes them, not Classic. OER sells to numerous outlets, including hawks.
