dam car troubles
#1
I posted this in a nz forum but ive change the money to $US for this.I posted in a car thread how i was having trouble.This is what has happened so far.There is no doubt about having to get them to fix it or give money back.I was rather pissed off when i wrote this.Hopefully i can find a way of contacting the owner instead of the young pricks they have working there.

Man car place screwed my system install.My car had a leak that we guessed must be the window.
Sucks. I found out what the leak was and it wasnt the window.It was the fricken stereo installers.They fixed the problem and a few other things they screwed up but that still doesnt help that ive had to buy a dehumidifier (car had water above the carpet and it turned out cheaper to get any lingering water behind the dash out with dehumidifier than pay someone to do it) and the mats believe it or not are still drying.The install was a complete balls up.Looking at it with everything out of the car is a disgrace.They wont do anything else either.Dam i should have saved $175 and done it myself but ma wanted it done by profesionals with a warrenty.
Look where that got us.Now im out 280 bucks and a whole heap of my time.I should rip out the wiring and redo it but i dont want to waste even more money on new cabling.
Check out the pics.They didnt seperate the power cable.It should be run on the oposite side of the car to reduce interference(not really an issue but for the price).The cables they used are just some short rca they they have joined and taped together.I paid for cabling extra and they told me they made it up themselves to length, not prebought packeted taped together cables.
The speaker how you can see the little coil.Made them flip it.The cross bar for the boot was rubing on it.How dumb can you get.
They also forgot to rehook up the ABS ground and i had to go back.
So now ive got wet mats,crap cables run wrong.stupid tards.
Oh yeah and the leak was because some dumbass removed a gromet(the rubber thing in the firewall you thread cables through) He then just ran the wire through the hole.That meant the wire was rubing on the metal frame.And that there was a 2-3 inch hole for water to pour through.The gromet was in behind the wheel arch cover.SO for some dick that doesnt know what they are doing it looks like water cant splash up into it because of it being covered.However all the water runnoff for the windows runs down the side of the car through a tube that leads there.Its meant to carry on out the bottom but with the hole it all went into the car instead just missing the computer.Could have been thousand plus if that f*#%ed out.
Wow looks like im going back again,just took pics of the wheel and windscreen and the power cable can actually slide sidways out from guard with bumps(it was in that position which ive tucked behind again for now)Not good.Easy enough to shorten and fix myself but then why pay them in the first place for a job done wrong.
Man i might see if i can get the money back and tell them to take the wires and stuff back.I very doubt they will want that though.They will try to argue it.If they do I should ask them to pay for all the water damage as well.
They would need some heavy compensation to make me happy now.
Im sick of driving round with only one seat and no carpet.
