I understand and am not blaming you for the damage in transit. I am a hard working person like yourself so I would hate for you to take a hit on this. If you were in the US I'd send it to you to see if you can repair it at my cost but that isn't feasible in this case. I have had a hard long month and honestly tired. I'll keep the seat and won't give a bad review, I will give a great one for trying to solve it. Things happen! Just none of our years! I wish you the best of luck and no worries my friend! Take care.
