Default Ecklers Hood

The Eckler's High Rise hood looks great, and is a reasonable price... but how do they fit ? Anyone have input on this ? Thanks.

Default Some fit good, some don't!

My mother ordered one from Ecklers and when the body shop pre-fit it, there were uneven gaps on the sides - even at full adjustment. When she contacted Ecklers to return the hood, they sent her a shipping label, but they didn't refund her original shipping cost, so she was nearly $125 out of pocket with no hood. I bought my hood from MCM and it was a perfect fit. They are a bit more expensive, but you can rest assured that you're getting a first rate product.

I agree on the MCM hood. I have heard that they have very good products. I got slammed with shipping fees to by ecklers when they sent me something I wasn't pleased with.
