Angry with LMC - vinyl floor - rear

[ptrparker]

Has anyone ordered the vinyl floor for a K5 from LMC?

I ordered just the rear set and nothing fits. The back area is too short and the wheel wells are too short. I think they sent the wrong item but they disagree..
What do you think?

“Part # 38-2874 requires minor trimming and fitting may be necessary in some cases.“

I was seriously considering their vinyl kit for the entire interior for the Jimmy but yours doesn't quite look right...
Regardless of how much heat you add to it, I don't see how you can stretch it to fit

are the wells seperate pieces? they look short, do they reach without insulation there?

kinda confused as to what's going on there.... looks like the main floor is oversized, except that one corner... is the bottom backwards? does it go down the vertical drop?

Exactly! the wheel well covers are too small and the floor pattern doesn’t match. I really believe it’s for a different vehicle.

No info on the K5 but I did the vinyl floor in my V3500 crew. Fit like crap, molded areas were not right either but there was at least enough material. Lot of time with a heat gun. I was pissed, it wasn't cheap. Last thing I bought from LMC, been trying to source parts from anywhere else I can.

Ordered a dash replacement years ago from LMC and the box had the correct part# but wrong item inside.
They promptly replaced it.

Dash still didn’t fit exact, the two center-most clasps didn’t quit make it to the metal dash. The outside ones fit fine but like this, it left the center raised a bit....

Part wasnt perfect but they did what they could to make sure I got I what I ordered.

None of the reproduction stuff I’ve purchased was ever “exact”.... I can’t afford the custom barrett bros restos, so overseas parts if I absolutely have to. Another reason why, I don’t even think about “restoring” these trucks anymore.

I tried, I also called and the first person was very rude, basically saying I didn’t know what I was talking about.
I sent all pics and a couple more...

Can't you just return it?

 

[ptrparker]

I asked, they haven’t responded yet...

Looking at the pictures,and if you flipped the mat over ,wouldn't the sides with more material then match up with the original ?..

Nothing I ever bought from lmc worked. Don't even try anymore. But thats with almost all aftermarket parts now. Have to go custom or nothing at all.

You will have to make cuts no matter what brand.... cuts too short is another story, just return it

so I installed this floor years ago and it was a royal pain in the ass for all the reasons you listed. I did eventually get it to fit and it has held up fantastic but the struggle was almost not worth it.
