sleeky tdi Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Bought some genuine seat chrome door pins off ebay, arrived a couple of days ago and set to fitting them. One fitted fine but the other one the thread had gone on so it didnt screw on or anything, just slid straight down. Email the seller and he claims that its my fault and that I have cross threaded the pin and as such he cannot be held responsible style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> So now im stuck with 1 door pin thats chrome and 1 plastic one style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Ah well style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreno510 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 yeh, glue was going to be my suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Paypal would have been useless, they take a £15 'recovery' fee from any claims! So they wouldn't have even bothered looking at this! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I've twice claimed back and never paid a "fee"! Is this a new thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookwise Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I bought a set of chrome lock pins direct from SEAT a few months ago. All of them fit differently as one would screw down further than another and one wont even grip.Apparently its common with them to be like this. I've not bothered to do anything with mine yet but will be gluing them on when I get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 My Beetle Sport pins were always loose - they would screw on fine but wouldn't stop screwing on until they got too low.I just shoved a tiny bit of blu-tack in the threads - enough to hold them in place but still make them easy to remove if you ever wanted to.
