Hi Steven Z., Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the bracket hole pattern didn’t align perfectly with the aluminum center reinforcement support. We appreciate you sharing the workaround using blind rivets or properly sized self-tapping screws to complete the installation. I checked the product history, and there have been no reported cases in the past 90 days. Additionally, the return rate for this product is very low. That said, your input is valuable and will be shared with our product team to help improve fitment accuracy and set clearer expectations for future customers. We also sent you an email today and are looking forward to your response. Please let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance. Best regards, CarParts Team
