Let's see - started at the headlights, moved mid car to the wind deflector. Next stop - LED lights for the spoiler - or a fix to the mysterious single rear fog light......

Fred,

Hi. Just wanted to see if you can help. Ordered the windbreaker in mid May and the gtp website has shown status as processing ever since. However a cpl of weeks ago, my paypal payment was refunded. However the website continues to show that I have an active order still being processed. On June 16, suspecting that my order may have been cancelled but the website not updated, I ordered another. Now the website shows two orders being processed. Can you help? Thanks.

Larry

Ps. Haven't received any indication that my order has shipped. To be clear, I only need one.

SkyBreaker all gone, well nearly, 4 left to go. Unbelievable

We got caught by the post office. Max outbound daily is 5pcs and they stood by their rule all the way. Local post office is cheap, well compared to the private carriers. If they wouldn't have these rules in place everyone would use their service and they'd end up as busy as the McDonald right next door.

So that's the treatment they offer to little nobody like myself who ship without a legit business registration :/

Updated the site with all of your tracking No. And I am not going to do nor ship out a massive group-buy for anything "Best in the World" anymore - I think lollll

Still haven't found the time to report on what I've done with your monies. I owe you guys! Will do this during the coming weeks once I get a few pics taken

Larry - I'll get one in the mail for you mate, if you promise to stop harassing me by pm, email and forum lolllll Sorry about the PP refund btw, Paypal does that sometimes

I received shipping confirmation of my new bullet proof Skybreaker 30 minutes ago

Can't wait to do the install...thanks again for all the hard work Fred!!

It's still showing as 'processing' on my account on the website Fred. Guess my parcel must still be at the bottom of the pile. I know it will eventually arrive, but I just wish China Post would pull their fingers out of their collective lazy asses and mail my frikkin parcel, just starting to get frustrated that's all But thanks for the update

Jon - its long gone man (#CP299*903*1CN), and so all of the others I've been told this morning by my little post lady (I owe her a box of chocolate, arggg). Once I get access to my virus free PC I'll logon the gtp admin and input this into the system so you can have the full string mate.

Rushing China Post. You are having a laugh... One-point-Four+ billion population country. Just the fact that this 'post system' works at all is beyond comprehension lollll Impossible logistics made possible!

ps. they know what I am doing there (e.g. business related) and don't report me or bother me too much. As long as I don't rush them We've unloaded a truck full of those SkyBreakers on them man... picture that for a min loll Took them a week, can't complain (personally) but I know what you mean, can be frustrating to wait for your stuff.

I apologize to you and others. One of these day GTP will have its own workforce "team" which will rank the Best in the World. Same as Apple and Microsoft
(^hmmm keep sniffin pmma vapors fred lolllll)

Fred,

Sorry about the harassment. Guess I got too excited. The paypal thing threw me off. I'll cool my heels and be patient. And by the way, thanks again for the amazing Skybreaker Sometimes I just gaze at the windscreen and imagine the new one in place. I've bragged to a few friends about it and they make fun of me constantly. Of course, they're just jealous.

Larry

Thanks Fred,

No more harassment from me. Heels planted firmly in ice.

For these new coated ones, what is the best way to clean them?

I just used a soft cloth, no cleaning product needed. Tough as nails coating, I had a bit of trouble getting the wire connector through the frame and handled it fairly rough. NO SCRATCHES, marks or anything on the perspex.

Thanks Fred, you did a great job getting them coated with the protective stuff. Mine finally arrived yesterday and I fitted it, but I decided to temporarily use a 12v SLA Battery for power source all tucked away nicely in the glove box. Switch on and off via the dimmer switch currently will probably connect a remote RF to it for a trial. I may hard wire it eventually. matey.

Yay, it arrived! And it works!
Now I just have to find time to install it.

Great job Fred, thanks. Stay safe with that typhoon bearing down on Shanghai.

Although I've been told this super dupper coating is chemical resistant, would you fully trust?! I don't but that is just me... I've never really trusted chemicals lolll So... hot water, clean microfiber cloth and you it should last forever.

Windex, amonia based, else = at your own risks! Let me know how it turns out, I'm lazy to give it a try (seriously, haven't tried anything else other than hot/warm water). Works just fine for me. I guess if you have a lot of finger prints in it you could use hand soap or at the most dish soap.

(apologies for the late response btw, no excuses really - owe you one)

[Wallace River]

No problems, all intact, looks awesome. Need to schedule some "me" time to install it :P .
Oh, and what also very neat......didn't get dinged a dime in taxes by the Post Office! Thanks Fred!!

Got around to installing my Skybreaker the other day. I decided to use the factory phone plug for switched power and it was easy to locate and connect.

This small piece of carpet under the dash slides toward the frunk and exposes the forward console area.


The four wires are Brown- (ground), Yellow- (mutes radio if phone in use), Green- (switched power, 12v when key is turned to accessory), Red- (continuous 12v, not switched).



Spliced into ground (brown) and switched (green) wires and soldered. Apologies for focus and soldering abilities.
The rest was running wires as others have done. Thanks to BruceH for the velcro mounting idea.










I'll post a night pic when I get a chance.

I should have mentioned, if using this plug it was easy to find. Once the small piece of carpet is removed, just reach in and feel around.

Put a small cloth over the tip of a flat screw driver you can shove that wire inbetween the roll bar cover
