I bought a rack for my focus for $330 shipped from ebay.
auction stated:
A very nice Yakima Rack, in very good condition. LOCKS AND KEYS
48" Bars.
4-Q-Towers.
A Q-Stretch Kit.
Fairing - Fairing shown is a 43", let me know if you need a different size fairing, I might have it.
I have a collection of Q-Clips and pads, please let me know the Q-Clip # along with the year,make and model of your car.
This was the picture:
Here is my problem....
I found a rack with some rust on craigs list for $150 that would need to be shipped to me... I thought very good shape ment no rust and i was getting the item pictured... I contacted the seller and stated i needed a 38'' fairing and a q102 clip package. He said he had both no problem. I paid and here is what i recieved.
The fairing had a sticker on it. No big deal i asked for a different sized then pictured. i took off the sticker and cleaned it up and covered it with my own...
Clips had no padding stickers on them so its metal on my paint right now... but i understand padding wears and needs replacing...
According to yakima the q stretch kit contains new covers and bolts for the back towers to they are not bare and exposed... They were not in the box....
And the rack had paint chips and surface rust...
Yea its functional but very good condition??? i dont think so... this is what the seller told me
"The covers that go on the stretch kit with a bolt are the covers from the rear Q-Towers. Once the rear Q-Tower cover is removed to place it on the stretch kit, there is a blank plastic cover that is placed on the rear Q-Tower. The blank cover is not held by a bolt. IS THIS WHAT YOUR ARE TALKING ABOUT? As far as the surface rust on the stretch kit, most if not all used items will have this, because they are used outdoors. Once the system is on the car this is hardly an issue. I put the items together and package them myself, and the systems with the stretch kits are a priority and I make sure all items are in EXCELLENT condition."
Think im being unfair for asking for a rust free stretch kit and the covers and bolts or partial refund...
Im just aggravated it was a picture of a nice rack and thats not what i received
