Hi, OK so, the other day when I was closing up the Flippac. The drivers side hinge (the top portion that fits into the top lid). Broke !!!!@@@@$$%%%. Need I say more!
Do any of you other owners have ideas for lifting the top and replacing the hinge or any other incite on Flippac ownership. When i got the unit last summer I was super psyched about it. Now, I am considering selling because, as we all know, customer service from Flippac is worse than a joke and some of the other design flaws/craftsmanship isn't up very high. The hinge breaking happened only a few hours after the fuel pump quit on my truck. Ideas, comments?
Thx
ps somewhere I heard/read a rumor that there was a bad batch of hinges. From looking inside the break I am not surprised. It is just cheap cast pot metal. Perhaps a redesign of the entire lid/hinge/lift configuration is in order. Why doesn't someone out there buy that portion of the business from Flippac and redesign and run the company properly? Great concept very poorly executed
