No problem, let me know what you find out.
On a side note: I had a FedEx package coming today that said "On Carrier Vehicle - Out for delivery" when I checked it this morning. It still says that as of 10:51PM tonight, but also shows it's current location is in Ft. Lauderdale (an hour South of here) at the same time.
One would think with current technology, they could figure out where a package is! LOL!

Wow, that is timing.....
THe tracks arrived USPS today. The tape at the end was torn, and some of the hardware fell out it looks like. I am not sure exactly how many of what are supposed to be in the package, but I think I can come up with stuff here to replace it. There is a sticker on it that says "possibly damaged" as the screws and rivets were all loose and rattling around in the tube. When you moved it, it sounded like the tube was full of broken glass. As the mail lady was handing it to me, a washer fell out and went inside her shoe laces that she had to dig out hahaha.
The tracks look amazing!

Should have 20 rivets and 16 washers with 6 6mm lock nuts and 6 6mm (1/4")rubber backed washers. This is the second time I had one come apart. Nothing missing on the first one.

I went to install the tracks today, and the quality of them is EXCELLENT! All 4 tracks fit in the roof recess perfectly. I did have to add a very slight bend in them to curve better from left to right across the roof.
I do have one small issue however. The rear track I received I think was possibly not aligned perfectly in the bending / shaping machine. It is too narrow, and there is no way whatsoever that the sunroof gasket will squeeze into place. The gasket fits correctly, with a little persuasion, into the other three tracks.
Here is a comparison of the drivers side track, held up at the end of the rear track:
Lastly, a question, is it better to paint these, or leave them raw stainless steel before installing them?[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 01-27-2015).]

I received a set and the workmanship was excellent. One of the tracks was a couple inches too short. I contacted Rich and he sent me out a replacement track and included a couple 30th anniversary tags as a bonus, all on his dime. Excellent customer service.

Not sure what happened. Same bending program was used for all the parts. It must have slipped in the clamp for some reason. Just had the machine gone through and everything has been perfect. Lesson learned. Let me know what you want to do, it can be spread with a wedge since it is only 20 ga. As for the paint I'd leave them raw. They aren't going to rust any time soon.
