Kinda angry now... pissed off, frusted and being laughed at.. and all in one same day!
here is the story, i'm restoring my 120Y, i need some side mirrors. so i dicided to get CF F1 side mirrors that looks good on olskool cars. i went to racecraft, but they only have universal bike side mirrors, F1 out off stock..
so i go to their next door shop.. they got 2 types of F1... real Cf or CF look alike.. both RM450. the real CF is light and the CF is neatly done. down side is that the mirror is not antiglare. NVM. looked at universal bike Cf mirror from racecraft, i had a dilemma to chose which one i wanted. so ended with F1 for the olskool look.
the item was bought on 28th Sept. after my car was painted i went to the shop to install my side mirror. they need me to decide the location to install it. so on 21st october my side mirrors was installed.
just a week later i went back to the paint shop and they told me one of the mirror dropped out when they close the door. SH1T! but the good news, they manage to catch the falling mirror before it hit the ground.. WheW!
last week, i went to the paint shop to get my bumpers for chroming, they told me the other mirror fell too! but this time, luck wasn't on my side. the mirror broke! i'm was furious! they keep kutuk me (biasala these formens) why buy these 400+ mirrors but the mirrors dropped out! to add salt to the injury, the allen screw that is suppose to hold the mirror in place started to rust! it is suppose to be stainless steel but rusted!
FYI, this car all this while is still in the paintshop even as we speak. it is kept at a corner where no one should be able to access it unless they wanted too. it is not the busy area where cars goes in and out.
so just now i went to the shop i bought the side mirror. i complained to them. guess what they said? "this things is normal... just get a replacement mirror or something". so i told them, i bought the mirror at high price and expecting at least some quality control or something. then the old dude there said something in hokkien presumably i don't know what he is talking about. he told his collegue "here can claim.. there is no proof" into his ear in hokiien; DAMN! straight away i told them off! i told them i'm not interested in any claim or compensation. and i told them the thing i bought is not RM50 which can be bought at roadside! it is damn freaking RM450~! and glass falling out of the side mirror is nothing NORMAL!
this shocked the old dude a while... then he said "just buy another mirror to change" and his colluege said "people buy RM1000 things also fall out la"... and what irritate me the most another dude told me "maybe your paint guys drop it or something?"... this time i was really angry and raise my voice at them. i told them the thing was properly installed and i was there to supervise it! and the glass dropout is not from accident or anything. the car is idle in the paintshop and the mirror dropped out when closing the door; not 1 mirror but both mirror. plus i installed it just for less than 1 month and this happenned! the mirror is glued with superglue on the CF casing... and only glues on 2 of the shorter rectangular edges!
instead of taking responsibility; the shopkeepers keep trying to divert the problem and blaming other than themselves. later the old dude told me if i bring back he also cannot claim is it is not manufacturing fault. i told him back "if the mirror fall out by itself in less than 1 month installed, plus my car hasn't moved more than 1 km all these while, this is not manufacturing fault?" then they said they only selling the product not making the product..
damn! all the excuses! i told them before i went off furiously "hey, you're selling the product, and you should at least check on the quality! i don't even care about the claim or compensation, all i want is for you to help me solve the problem. you should refer this problem to your supplier!"
ARRGH!! luckily i've used CC for the transaction, really feel like wanted to do chargebacks under "delivery of inferior goods".
