who else has a saggy stillen front lip?

Starbux · 10-15-2012, 07:06 PM

Hey guys talked to Dave ( or David) at stillen today. He stated that it is from friction of it being mounted wrong... let me explain... if the lip isn't installed correctly then it will be pushed down causing the lip to give way in the middle like it has for us.

The solution he gave me.

Use a heat gun and the lip should go back to original shape or bring it to a body shop and have them put it in the oven. If I had any other problems please contact him. I asked him if I can use different bolts and he told me yes. Go ahead and use ones with washers n nuts for a more secure lock. Also MAKE SURE you use that 3m adhesive **** lol.

I can't for the life of me figure out how you could install it wrong unless you used their hardware...

Does anyone ever just go 'Y'know what? Maybe we f'd up...' and make it right anymore?

Ha not stillen. Stupid business model, destined to go fail in the near future.

Boost_lee · 10-15-2012, 08:51 PM

I agree... This many people with the problem and we all installed it wrong? And that lip fit well and pretty tight, I'm not sure how it can be mounted that much differently

edub370 · 10-15-2012, 09:01 PM

We all magically installed it IDENTICALLY wrong then... With the hardware supplied...

Gimme a break. The mounting is not the problem

I just installed this lip a few days ago, fits well, and there is ZERO chance of installing it wrong unless you stick it on the the rear bumper? I used much larger screws, only the little ones for the ends. I will reinforce mine to forego the sagging, I love this lip, its only been on a few days and the positive comments are plentiful. honestly, even if the did nothing else than fix the future version, I am fine with that, being in the service industry I realize designs and products are not perfect, thus a flaw was found, so fix it, we already have the product, all we can do as a group is forewarn potential buyers. The Z market must just be too small to care about...

stillen's top notch customer service! haven't heard anything but horrible reviews from them for quite a while now. well, guess the lip will just sit in my garage for the time being.

edub370 · 10-16-2012, 09:35 AM

i'm just over them playing dumb and telling customers its mounted wrong. being proactive and doing something about it would only be right to all the z owners that essentially made that company what it is

Guess its really that hard to admit that their product is faulty. Pretty stupid they actually blame us, the customers, for their ****.

Stillen won't really call you back unless you're wanting to buy something from them.
