Well, not exactly true.  The Stainless Steel bolts we sell, www.frankcondelli.com <http://www.frankcondelli.com/>,  for the pop-top have no problems thus far.  They have been installed on numerous vans without any issues.  They do their job and make the van look pretty !

      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 01 until April 30, 2015.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Darrell or Carol and they will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail. Details of this adventure are on our Travel Blog: http://frankcondelli.com/travels/ <http://frankcondelli.com/travels/>

Cheers,
