Major problem with local dealer (windshield)

**Muzzy** · 03-22-2011, 10:59 PM

Long story short (you may remember); Had my local dealer install new windshield on my 06 LS back in October, picked up my boat windshield looked used and in poor shape, dings and scratches all over, and very dirty. Talked to SC and the Dealer, both said take it back to the dealer and they'll touch it up.......Big mistake!!
Picked up my boat on Saturday, and this is what I got, not only was the touch up terrible, there is silver paint overspray all over my boat, the vinyl, the gelcoat, the dash, even a couple nice drops of paint on the passenger seat and drivers seat. I dont even know what to do now. The dealer has failed miserably 2 times now. Do I try to contact the dealer owner, or do I go directly to Skiers Choice and if SC who should I contact (I dealt with Reed originally)?
I do not trust this dealer to touch my boat again. Is this fixable without seriously harming the Gelcoat and Vinyl? I am at a total loss now and am sick to my stomach, any advise is greatly appreciated.

Go directly to Skiers Choice. Never, ever return to that dealer. Ever. They had a chance to make it right and they made it much worse. Skiers Choice will take care of you.

Thanks for the fast reply, first thing tomorrow i'll get a hold of Skiers Choice, hopfully they'll have a better fix for me this time.

OMG. That looks like a massive fail.

Keep us updated. I am really curious what SC will do for you.

There is no excuse for overspray just too lazy to throw a cover over the dash and seats.

Send those photos straight to sc. They can't ignore that nonsense. If they do, I want to know as I will go elsewhere with future business.

Call SC and ask for Rick Tinker. He is also on this board from time to time

that is horrible and no excuse to get your pride and joy back looking like that. The pisspoor workmanship is one thing, but to mess the rest of the boat up is just wrong. Are you dealing with the dealer owner? if not you need to and then get ahold of SkiersChoise
