Re: [Chrysler300] News on repo 300C-E rear 1/4s?

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the price of two 2X4's, the bending could be eliminated.
  Outer Cardboard, 1/4 panel, inner  C/B, 2 2X4's near top and bottom, 
another inner C/B, second 1/4 panel and the other outer C/B. Staple it 
all together, and now it woun't bend $5-6 extra shipping?

  We receive parts for our auto/truck shop from Phoenix via a custom 
delivery service. Service is pretty pathetic but UPS is no better. Body 
parts come by here every morning headed for local body shops in the 
delivery service truck. Packaging is most generally non existant for 
body pieces I have seen. Reason for custom handling rather than mass 
handling is to minimize damage in transit. Damage is inevitable. At 
some level, acceptable in the collision repair business.

  From one body shop manager, I was told that any new panel from a 
dealer would definately have damage. Up to a limit, dealer would be 
responsible for cost to rework(?). Too much rework and panel went back 
and body shop got another. But, no new panel would be installed without 
some rework necessary.

  Would seem to me that the subject quarter panels would best be handled 
personally. Would be a big stretch to expect in my opinion, and from my 
experiences, that manufacturer would step up to shipping damage even if 
packaging is terrible. Special packaging to properly support a panel 
for shipping might well be outside shop capability and for low volume 
production, probably too costly I would suppose.
