	Fiberglass bed cover sold by leonard buildings and truck accessories 4239 capitol blvd. raleigh, nc 27604. heavy (100+ lbs) cover held on by two flimsy aluminum hinges. i found that one hinge had cracked completely and the other one part way. had the other hinge failed and the cover blown off of the vehicle, it would have caused extensive damage and/or injury to any vehicle/person which it hit. i belive that leonard should be made to recall/repair these covers or at least notify owners of the potential danger.

	Dt: consumer owns a 1993 chevrolet w/t half ton pickup truck . the spare tire fell off while parked in a parking lot. the consumer determined this happened because the cable that holds the spare tire is rusted. the consumer went to the gm dealer, and the dealer said there were no recalls and no replacement was offered. the consumer contacted the gm manufacturer and they offered no remedy as well. they would forward the information to their engineering staff. they did recommend replacing the cable with a safer one; they have new ones offered at the dealer that are made of stainless steel. the consumer has not replaced the cable at this time but plans to do so. the consumer has concerns for other vehicle owners who may have this same cable. ak mr the consumer has replaced the spare tire carrier with a new stainless steel gm replacement. *nm

	This was a nhtsa campaign #95v246000. the dealer i took the truck to for the recall fixed the drivers seat at i believe 60000 miles. i don't think they did anything to the passenger's seat. since the dealer's repair i have had to replace the bolts again on the drivers seat, the dealer said gm was not responsible for doing the repair a second time. now at 123,000 miles the passengers seat bolts have failed. the dealer claims that the repair was performed before and offers no relief. repairs have been defective or seat would not be broken again. thank you for any help you might provide.
