I know there is a shortage in spoilers for the hardcovers, but I am not aware of any delays in hardcovers. I havent had any problems sourcing them for our new car dept. So far......

Leaked water like a seive and the lock didn't work properly. We took it back to the place we purchased it from several times and it was slightly better but not fixed completely. We gave up in the end and just put up with it.ANother hardcover "horror" story is a guy I know who bought a new VU Maloo and had similar problems with his hardcover as weel as rubbing the paint off in places. His was an aftermarket cover too, not a Holden/HSV item. The dealer said the only fix was to buy the genuine item, $2500 please. So the guy ordered one and the dealer kept jerking him around and it took about 5 months to come in. I think in the end the problem was fixed.Moral of the story - be very wary of aftermarket hardcovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this means NONE are being delivered as yet. It must be sh*tting Ford that parts are not available to build cars they have orders for and the customers are entitled to be shiity too!
