"As you can see from the pics, they have not routed/cut out in the back mountings in the correct place. They should be at least 5mm lower down, but instead they have cut them out in the middle. Thus when it is installed in the car it does not sit flush with rear deck. Even the holes that were cut are not large enough to take the original brackets and had to be hacked out (as you maybe able to see on the new rail). In the end I had to repair my old one."

This part was procured from Moss Motors UK. Moss Motors US was notified 6/16/05.

On 6/28/05 Moss US agrees the part is made wrong, same part being supplied by Moss US and Moss UK, and it does not match an original part.
