I've owned two different mounting plates from RAM, and both were of the highest quality and completely accurate.
I wrote to RAM suggesting an improvement in the product for my particular car, and was surprised to get responses from the president on down. They took my suggestion, and even sent me the upgraded part.
Hey, accidents happen and suppliers screw up. We're all (mostly) human. Give RAM a chance to fix the problem, and turn down the drama queen act.
