Thanks for the welcome!!!!!!!!!!
I'll try to explain how I think the dings occured.
The way the hooks are packed, the loop is folded over on the base with the offset face on the base.
Since there is still a little angle to the loop, the face of the loop sits on the edge of the base.
If you are having trouble visualizing this look at a picture of a hook with the loop and the base.
The hook is them wrapped in foam, NO foam between the hook face and the base, then put in
a plastic sleeve. With three of these hooks in a box there is considerable weight.
Even packed tightly, the loop of the hook bounces on the edge of the base eventually making a dent
in the face of the hook. This face is the offset face which is supposed to be facing out to keep the hook from
swinging into the vehicle.
I know the hooks may eventually get dings, but if they do, I want to be the one to put them there.
When I'm paying for a polished piece I expect some quality to arrive.
I'm not an "off-roader" and I wanted to have the polished hooks to add a little "show" to my H3.
As far as who the vendors are I would prefer not to give out names right now because my refunds are still being
processed. Maybe I will post them later.
I will say the one name brand of hooks I got was Aries Offroad. I have bought their products before and been
happy with them, so I was quite disappointed in their hooks.
I called Aries directly and they didn't seem too concerned or caring about the situation.
Maybe time to scratch them of my list too.
