Default Willcox help.....interior fit up? Center panel issues

about 2 months ago I bought over $2000.00 worth of interior parts from you guys and just started putting it together. Well, I've read many tales about after market fit up problems, but until now haven't had to deal with much of it. Here's my first problem, and I just can't figure out how to make this work, even with a heat gun.

Passanger side t-top center panel...notice the gap at the t-top tongue guide housing




Driver's side fits pretty good.....



it seems to me that the t-top center panel was just cut wrong since the driver's side fits perfectly and the passenger's side doesn't. I took measurements, and the tongue guides are the same on both sides. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
Sure is a bad fit!
I think you need to call Willcox, tell them you're returning it, and would they please send you another.
Since they don't manufacture interior trim parts they really have no control over that part except the ability to return it to their supplier.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Nope got the number, but I've seen the Willcox guys here a bunch and figured a picture is worth a thousand words.

Thanks Alan, I'm going to call them today......just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something on my end. And just for the record, Willcox has been a great supplier for me during this rebuild.

Thanks,
Gary

Gary-

I'm sorry but it looks as if you got a bad one..

Please remove it, put it in a box and I'll send a mailing label to get it back.

If you don't mind email me at Support@Willcoxcorvette.com so I know where to send the label.

Willcox -
