little bit of product feedback
the day that 'brookshaw' stated that the 24A88 was only lasting two weeks, i attached a bit to the exterior of our unit where it has been happily getting wet since.
here are some photos one month later.
no rust, no staining, no rotting.
i even peeled the black cloth covering away from the stainless steel part so that the water could get to it.
will report back in six months...........

you should see the set of minispares rosepetals that are currently on test - nearly two years of virtually constant outdoor use, right through winter and have never been cleaned - they are black with brake dust.
the laquer is fine.......
the user has just bounced his car through a pot hole so deep that it bent the rack bar in the steering rack
- the wheel just shrugged it off.

do u want some pics guru 1071 rich??
ill take some when i get a minute
not slagging the item,,just wondered if they were a bad batch????????????
they havent rusted on the super yet,but hey,it doesnt go out much!!!!!!!!!!
id like to see photos of the rust staining and lack of flock.
can you also pm me the invoice number so i can tie down when they where bought????
i can then look into when they where received into stock
it does seem odd that there have been no other complaints, yet you where unlucky to receive two from a batch of 1500 plus........
if they faulty we will be happy to swop them

Hmmm they look completely different to my minispares window channels. I bought mine about March/April this year though
