BAUSauto Hood Lock Issue




I got a set of these from BAUSauto and once i got a shop to install them, they began to rust. I contacted AeroCatch directly and this was their reply:

Thank you for your email, unfortunately the catches in your pictures are counterfeit!! All our screws and pivot pins are made from stainless steel and the pivot pins are sonically welded in position whereas it is clear to see -in your pictures - that the handle pivot pin is coming out!! This needs to be addressed or the catches - you have- will lock up very soon!!

Please see our website page on counterfeit AeroCatch

They sell the hood locks/latches as D1 Generation, Aero Catch, universal hood lock latches. These are all counterfeit as BAUSauto (carbodykits.com) is not a licensed AeroCatch dealer! I contacted BAUSauto and they said they would look into it and that was weeks ago. Please beware

 

wow.. even counterfeit ones should have atleast use pieces that would be rust resistant... thats pretty crappy man. Im sure eric will address this though and make it right for you.

 

Interesting, and I would be as mad as you if I was in the same position. Hopefully it gets fixed quick.

^ you can buy the screws but not the internals.

Blak Max, have you contacted Baus Auto?

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's Baus' fault. Baus has their own supplier of these hood locks - Baus themselves aren't making these.

Eric and Ben are stand up guys. Give them time as they are extremely busy preparing for HIN LA '12.

 

Looks like someone at Baus needs counterfeit parts risk mitigation training.

 

 

Wow.

 

damnnn lol

 

Idk about any of you but stuff like that makes me not want to buy ANYTHING from them

 

this thread is ridiculous..this is a good company on this forum and im sure will make it right( well now i kinda hope they dont as the op went and jumped the gun and made a thread like this)..this thread should not have been made and the op should have just contacted eric and had it taken care of..

 

ive heard alot of ppl are having a hard time contacting him sense he has been busy.

 

He said he contacted them weeks ago with no reply?

 

they are doing HIN..there are people and ways to contact them on this forum...
