Fesler hood hinges anyone else have problems with shocks ?

[sacarguy]

My hinges are 4 months old and they wont even hold the hood up at all.

from day one i had to lift the hood and hold it up a while before it would stay and sitting there it would slowly drop

now it wont hold the hood more then 12-14 inches open if i open it all the way the hood just drops back down.

I am using a goodmark steel hood and i specified steel hood when I ordred..

Is this a comon problem with these hinges ?

is there a stronger replacement shock anyone knows of ?

Have you spoken to the guys at Fesler?

I'd suggest that first.....

Maybe you just got a bad shock..... call them

I had a problem on the green 67 Chevelle with the shocks. I called Fesler, talked to Amy and new shocks were sent out right away. Problem solved. I will say that Fesler is prob the most friendly, best company I have ever worked with and backs there product 100% with no questions asked. So even with a minor issue I will be running there hinges on all of our projects. Only if all companys were so easy to work with!

No offence but what part you did not understood what Chris just said???

Pick up the phone a give Amy a call -its not rocket science..

sounds like you just need more powerful gas springs.

Still dont have a phone call on this and if anyone knows his name I can look up the order and get him the right parts. Screennames need to be singed by a name so people know who everyone up here is. Why do guys hide behind screennames.

I don't get why there are some people upset about this ? A guy is having some trouble and came on the site to see if anyone else is having the same problem. He didn't bash the product or the vendor. This type of thing can be a "good" problem. The vendor stands behind the product and is willing to help and everyone can see that.

As a vendor myself, these types of posts used to upset me. "Why didn't they contact me first ??? " , I used to wonder. The main reason is that the customer wants unbiased input and wants to hear it from another customer, not the vendor. I don't let these type of posts bother me anymore. Many times I would just watch the thread and wait for the e-mail about the problem. In fact, I especially like the ones that DO bash the products. In those cases, 99% of the time the customer did not follow instructions or tried to "make it work" when a simple phone call or e-mail would have prevented the problem they created themselves. In the few cases of an actual defective product, it was quickly replaced.


Ok, rant over. play nice ! LOL
