[Healeys] trim

Just this past friday I saw on of those Moss heel pad sewn into the carpet
without the snaps in place. In additon, the heel pad looked like it was
inflated or padded between the carpet and the pad. The carpet was bound at the
front and rear with vinyl matching the carpet, how nice. Then when the owner
went to install the new seat sliders, because his old ones had a couple of
machined screws that were loose, he quickly found out that three machined
screws promptly let go due to poor welding by whoever supply those to Moss.
The irony of all that is that this person is a Moss distributor and he could
experience firsthand  the "quality" of some of the items he sells.
