| Subject: | Apollo SL-40 faceplate |
The clear plastic faceplate on my Apollo SL-40 radio has warped and lifted
making it hard to read the display. Garmin won't send parts and wants $550
for the repair. I plan to cut a piece of plastic to replace the warped
piece. Has anyone else had to deal with a similar problem?

Yup. Had a Garmin radio go bad on the faceplate readout. They wanted 500
bucks to look at it and found out from a radio shop in Montana that
there were no parts available for that particular model. He had a
faceplate sent it to me and gues what it worked. I forget what the
faceplate cost me but much less than just looking at the radio from
Garmin. VERY disappointed in that customer service profile. Still
waiting on an upgrade on G3X tach software fix. First 2 did not work.
Been almost a year, no word and no fix. For the price we pay for Garmin
you would think would be better. There are a lot of Cirrus customers out
there VERY dissatisfied with their service as well.

The instructor I use for biennials has a Diamond DA20 with a couple of
Garmin units in it. He has expressed major frustration that they
obsolete products and don=99t supply parts or support for them.
They also won=99t provide any information so that a third party
could do maintenance on them. It speaks to the need for competition
that won=99t be gobbled up.
