So I have noticed over the last few weeks that my OBX shift knob is chipping in the section that says OBX and is made of some sort of metal plating. I noticed it bubbling over the last couple months and then this weekend a piece chipped off. Anyone else notice this? I have had my tC since August, so if I have it I would expect someone else might too.

Oh and BTW: "Blouses win Charlie Murphy"

Haven't experienced that at all, and I've had mine on since August.

I've seen it happen... do you wear rings?

 

[nrhanson]

Nope, not at all, it kinda sucks, I think (I can't remember from when I put the knob on) but that part might be removable. Maybe I will email OBX and see if they won't send me a replacement for that piece.

 

[nrhanson]

Just called OBX, didn't realize that they were located in the Bay area. They said they would send a replacement for that piece.

Later,

That's good to hear!

 

[nrhanson]

BTW Eric you may want to change the time. I just noticed that you are still on pre daylight savings.

 

[wolo]

My time is finally showing up correctly.

Maybe I messed something up.

 

[Eric]

just took care of it

[edit]
I added 60min onto the board's time, but if you don't have Daylight Savings checked in your control panel under Board Settings, then I should remove the 60min from the admin side and have you check the box in your CP

Crap. My time is off again.

Maybe you had one too many beers.

Thats cool of OBX to send you a replacement piece. Definitely says alot about them as a business!

 

[nrhanson]

FYI to everyone, if your obx knob is chipping in the same place as mine, go to their website http://www.obxracingsports.com/ and email them about the problem. I got my replacement in three days.

Thanks for the update Nick & I'm glad it worked out for you!

 

[iGod]

thanks nick, i am going there now. same problem with mine.

Yeah, when I got the replacement it took me a few minutes to figure out how to replace it. All it requires is you taking off the shift kno and getting a thin long screwdriver and pushing the cap off with the screwdriver, from the other side of the knob. Then you just push down the new one into place. (it is held there by a rubber o-band. Pretty quick and easy. I think the email address is [email protected]
