These are not quite ready for order or purchase, but watch this space, should be a development soon after a few minor adjustments, i am presently in touch with Simon about these
Thanks Rob, I check in every month, so I'll look again August.

Please note that currently Simon's cutting machine is broken, he is trying to find a repairer but not sure if there is one who can fix it in Bulgaria, I expect another update shortly and will keep you all posted, in the meantime if you are waiting for kit please be patient and wait for the next update coming soon

Hi all,

Just wanted to share pic of what I found this morning when I entered the car









To be honest, I didn't expect this to happen less than a year after being in the car and the price of it wasn't cheap either...

...also, chrome parts are becoming yellowish - it looks like the glue is coming through the chrome. I will post some pics later...

Mine have been on well over 2 years now and as good as the day they were fitted. Was the correct pre-clean and fitting procedure followed? The hair dryer to warm the glue sounds a faff but really makes a difference to the adhesion.

I'm sure if you pass the information on to Simon especially with pictures he will help out, feedback is important to him so that the product is right.

Yes, I followed the procedure exactly but you will notice that glued part is still glued to the windows switch - problem is the resin separating from that "glued base" (white in the picture). I hope you will understand my explanation

Like Parker, I've had mine for a few years now with no problems.

It looks to me as if yours have started to delaminate - probably a faulty batch. I'm sure if you contact Simon he will sort you some replacements - he's usually pretty good.

It does look like a delamination and I'm sure Simon will help out here.
