Re: DW02028 GTY PLK

Sounds to me like I'm going to use FYG for now on until further notice. This is ridiculous. I have a warranty to honor and how is a person supposed to stay in business and be profitable if they are paying a premium for OEM Pilkington glass that's defective. This is a big problem.

For us it's PGW most of the time, Pilkington is running a close second. Pitiful product quality out of both of these companies over the past few years. Probably gonna get worse, not better.

On a more practical note, we have found a way to reduce the rearview mirror problem. Buy a needle point oiler or use WD-40 and lube the ball joint and work it a bit before re-mounting it. This will help reduce pressure put on the mirror button when adjusting.

That is true with the fyg the only problem is they put the brackets in the wrong place like on the Dw2041
