View Full Version : Antenna Bezel Problem (replacements will be sent)
maggiea 03-02-2007, 01:32 PM :red: The fit on the antenna bezel on this first shipment is not the fit that we advertised or that we want. I contacted the company this morning concerning the problem. They are going to modify the part for the correct fit. When I get in the new Antenna bezels everyone that purchased from Race and Street will be sent a new one. Please do not send the part back to us. Please be patient while we are fixing the problem. I will let you know when the new ones arrive and I am shipping them out.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

ymerej_mortsdnil 03-02-2007, 02:58 PM VERY NICE! Should I wait to order one until the new ones are in? And how long do you think it will be before the new ones arrive? Excellent work in providing superior customer service!!! ;)
GDZHHR 03-02-2007, 03:00 PM Thanks Maggie!!:thumb:

NateZillaHHR 03-02-2007, 06:00 PM Good thing I waited, will be getting one of those bad boys soon
ymerej_mortsdnil 03-02-2007, 10:15 PM any timeframe yet on when the new bezels will be available?!? :confused:
'CAUSE I WANT 1!!! :nuts:
GDZHHR 03-02-2007, 10:49 PM They just found out about the issue, so I'm guessing.......weeks, months???
They may have to redo the mold completely.
ymerej_mortsdnil 03-09-2007, 06:18 PM any updates on these? ;)
GDZHHR 03-09-2007, 06:28 PM give time time, it's been less than a week
NateZillaHHR 03-10-2007, 06:06 PM yeah but it was a long week....:lol:
maggiea 03-15-2007, 11:57 AM Hello,
The antenna bezel is being retooled. The base needs to be longer. I will pry have them within a few weeks. I have not forgot anyone on this issue. Please be patient.
Thank you,
Maggie @ www.raceandstreethhr.com
GDZHHR 03-30-2007, 10:43 PM Maggie, just windering if you had any updates?
Thanks
maggiea 04-02-2007, 08:01 PM :red: I am really sorry this is taking so long. The new bezel came in last week for the test fit. It is a go. It will pry be another two weeks, BUT it will be the fit that was advertised in the picture and the fit that you are looking for. Everyone that purchased from Race and Street's website and ebay store will receive a replacement. We will take the loss. I personally was not happy with the fit either. PLEASE DO not waste money sending back the ones you have. I do not want them.
Thank you,

If you look at it, you'll see that this is one of the originals. Doesn't fit well. Our vendor isn't the only one selling these. She's just the only one I know of who has stopped until they are right!

I see what you're saying...but I can't wait 'til the 'correct' fitting ones are available!!!
I feel like a child waitin' to open presents at Christmas!!!;)
maggiea 04-23-2007, 07:10 AM The new antenna bezel was approved. It is now in manufacturing. This was the update last week from Autotecnica.
Thank you,

Big Kahuna 05-15-2007, 12:20 AM Been buying from Maggie and the staff of Race and Street for over 6 years... (for my other retro vehicle) Best customer service and staff you could ever ask for...
Hang in there and I'm sure they'll have the final product perfected. As soon as they do, Maggie will be hearing from me...
Thanks Maggie and staff for all these years of excellant customization products...

Big Kahuna 05-15-2007, 12:28 AM By the way, Maggie...
Here's a product idea/suggestion that I'd LOVE to see designed by Autotecnica...
If you have any connections with their design team... How about a chrome finished overlay for the front and rear Chevy bowtie on the front and back of the HHR... I guarantee you'll have no trouble selling the heck out of those to cover the gold plastic bowties in the factory HHRs...
;)

Has Maggie ever given you reason that she won't notify everyone (esp those that have ordered already) when the new bezels will be ready?:confused::roll:
courthousedeb 05-21-2007, 08:56 PM It's my understanding that they had to be retooled and that it takes time for that to get done. I'm sure she wants to make sure it's perfect before they go out this time. I'm sure an email or phone call would get the question answered in a heartbeat. :thumb:
GDZHHR 05-21-2007, 09:00 PM Has Maggie ever given you reason that she won't notify everyone (esp those that have ordered already) when the new bezels will be ready?:confused::roll:
I think she's been pretty regular with the updates. She does have a business to run and only a small part of it is HHR's.
As Deb said, PMing or emailing her would be the best way of getting your question answered.
I think she's been pretty regular with the updates.
That's my point.:thumb:
courthousedeb 05-21-2007, 09:07 PM As I said...I'm sure it takes time. I work at Ball Corporation and one of the many things we do is to design metal and plastic containers and lids for them and it takes a great deal of time to make sure they are perfect before they go into production. I'm sure that they are providing her with prototypes and trying to get them perfect this time. Like I said...she's only a phone call or an email away. ;)
GDZHHR 05-21-2007, 09:14 PM I got it. My bad. You were commenting on the previous post, not asking the question.

GDZHHR 05-21-2007, 09:36 PM I guess ya found out what people would say!

I guess he did. :lol:
Big Kahuna 05-21-2007, 10:37 PM Don't worry everyone...
Maggie and the staff of Race and Street stand by their word. Just give them time to get the product perfected to fit the HHR.
I've been dealing with them for years in the past and never had an ounce of problems. Even with a defective taillight that was defective from the manufacturer, Maggie shipped a replacement as soon as it was available.
GREAT VENDORS!!! :thumb:
maggiea 05-28-2007, 06:56 AM WOW! You must of had a bad !!! I thought I was doing pretty good keeping you posted on this problem.
I have NOT REFUSED to speak to anyone over the antenna bezel replacement. As soon as I get them in I will let everyone know & will ship them out that day. If by chance you think I have the new bezels and are NOT replacing the defective ones PLEASE call Autotecnica (World Class Suppliers) They will let you know that am telling you the truth. Phone Jeff at 805-981-8634.
FYI I am replacing and shipping these bezels are Race and Street's expense. Race and Street is not happy with the fit. I see others out there are still selling the bezels AS IS. If you want a bezel REAL quick I can get you one, but it is going to be the same thing you have right now.
RELAX. They will be replaced. I PROMISE!
Maggie @ www.raceandstreethhr.com
Big Kahuna 05-28-2007, 10:54 AM I haven't ordered mine yet but as soon as the new and improved replacements are available at Race and Street, that's where I'll be placing my order....
:thumb:
maggiea 06-06-2007, 07:35 PM I received this email from Darla one of the owners at Autotecnica (WCS) on the Antenna Bezel. Jeff is her husband the other owner. Message below:
We received the sample last week, went and test fit it. The fit was perfect. Jeff gave them the go a head last week. So, should be real soon. No word yet on a finish date, but should not be to much longer. Jeff told them he wanted some sent by air as soon as they are done.
I am trying my best to keep you up to date on this situation. If you are tired of waiting PLEASE call me at 888-826-1394 and cancel the order you have placed or get a refund on the one that you received . I do not want the bad one back . If I do not hear from you I will send replacements out when I get these in.
Thank you,
Maggie @ www.raceandstreethhr.com

Big Kahuna 06-06-2007, 11:36 PM Hey Maggie...
Thanks for the update!!! Sounds like good news!!!
Since I mentioned this before, thought I'd again bring up this product idea/suggestion that I'd LOVE to see designed by Autotecnica...
If you have any connections with their design team and owners... How about a chrome finished 3M attached overlay for the front and rear Chevy bowtie on the front and back of the HHR... I guarantee you'll have no trouble selling the heck out of those to cover the gold plastic bowties in the factory HHRs...
