They are going to make the landing light lens. It was an error where a lens didn't fit a Piper and the Piper owner wanted the sq. sheet to make the lens cover. Lo Presti stated it was a mistake and I should be getting a lens cut to size and also some free Speed Coat due to the error. They responded that Monday--I don't have the lens cover yet but it should have shipped yesterday.

I was following up to see if lopresti was going to take care of the rest of us who have defective landing light covers like you had. Cracked lenses on lopresti nose bowls are unfortunately not uncommon. I've seen hundreds of the factory lenses and very few if any are cracked. Many are hazy and checkered from many years of use, but few if any are cracked from improper finishing. A landing light lens should last for many years and hundreds if not thousands of hours. They should not fail in a couple of years or a few hundred hours. I'm asking and I think quite fairly, that lopresti provide a new lens cover to replace the defective one that was provided with our cowl. A customer should not have to spend more money on such a new product, if it was made properly the first time. So I was asking what lopresti's intentions were in regards to replacing the defective lenses. Glad they too care of you, now how about the rest of us?
