Contacted the company and mentioned the Consumer Guarantee Act as suggested by "Fisher" They have now agreed to pay for the cover to be restitched.
Would have been so nice to have this offer in the first place.

Osif I'll give you a shout over the next few days to get a price for the guy, maybe restitch all of them and I'll pay the difference.

Thanks for the advice guys. Problem resolved.

I found the clips on my Coversystem cover a little fragile. Most of them broke on mine, so had to tie the straps to the trailer. You just need to take care tensioning them up. The actual cover was very good until UV got the better of it after about 4 years.]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:42:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70178&PID=1001472&title=boat-covers#1001472 <![CDATA[Boat Covers : I bought a cover from these people...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70178&PID=1001467&title=boat-covers#1001467 Author: Jiggy Jig

I bought a cover from these people at the Hutchwilco boatshow this year too. My mate already had one on his hard top, and I was impressed by it. Not the cheapest, but seem very well made, with a 3 year guarantee, and certainly no problems yet and it's pretty windy at our place.

doesnt mention the straps, get into them..


Tried that one already Catchit, this was their response.

What did the box the cover came in say on it in a big red flash?
 
Quote " Five year guarantee against fading".
 
We do not cover straps. Buckles or tearing".
 
So if you caught the material on a sharp point would you still expect to claim because we had not told you that?
 
Most people ask and check if in doubt or require clarification.. It is impossible to tell everybody everything particularly at a show.
 
The website details were on the box and you could have checked there.

As you can see there not great to deal with and they've stopped responding to emails.

I'd have been happy with two years, this one was from the last Hutchwilco Boat Show at the ASB Showground, sometime in May I think. No older than 4 months.
