Rate the “Stretch” of this 18078
How would you rate this stretch?
0-10 with 10 being perfect Production from early 80’s. Trying to decide if it is worth the investment to send to Rolliworks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s not that bad. I’d leave it as is. I know there are a lot of great reviews on rolliworks but there are also some not so great reviews so in my opinion this may not be worth taking a chance

Cool. Thanks for the insight. This piece is worn only a couple weeks out of the year.

Leave it. Way too early to send for repair.

Very minimal stretch. Nothing wrong with it.

Looks pretty good IMHO, save the money!
Rolliworks does great work by the way, retrofitted mine (which was worst than yours) and end result was great: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
