Hi Matt.
We have a customer that has complained about the perishing rubber of his rod holders.
MFRHFM
The story goes:
He purchased 4 off us in April 2015 and returned them with this problem in Oct 2015
We replaced them at the time.
He has now recontacted us saying that the rubber has persished on the 2nd lot and the strap holding the cap on has broken.
He has told me he does not use the boat much at all. (it is a launch)
I grabbed one of the rod holders of our shelf (it has been here at least 2 years) and when I opened it up I noticed the same rubber part of the holder has gone all white and showing signs of deteriation.
The customer is not happy and said he has the rod holders glued down and this is going to be a mission to replace as it will lift the paint on his boat (he had to do this once allready)
Not sure what to do here, maybe a check with NS stock, or I can send this sample to you, or check with the overseas supplier.
Pics attached.
