Cracked Tommy Kaira shift knob

OMGWTFBBQ · 04-02-2014, 09:40 AM

I've actually seen that happen on quite a few shift knobs. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Cracking on the underside happens more frequently than you think. If it was cracked on the top side then that would be a different story. I would honestly just keep it and rock it; TK knobs are pretty rare to begin with.

Plus, when it's on your car, you will barely even notice it.

There's a reason Bulletproof, (I forgot their other name) pay vendors fees and a higher price, they take care of their customers and have their own QC and they have to stock the things so you don't have to wait 4 weeks. Just sayin.

I don't follow. It has cracks, but you can't feel them. How do you know they're there? Did you take it apart or something to check or can you actually see it?

You can see them, hard to capture with a picture but they're there.

I've seen them come in cracked with stocking orders, sorry to see you got one of them

I'm at sort if a loss, looking at my tk knob I fail to see how knob could crack where I could see in turtle like the pics. Seems odd.

Well there's always the possibility it's a Shanzhai counterfeit.

It's probably whatever glue they used to attach the turtle that has cracked. Probably due to dryness.
