Sliding door issue on 250 - Dave? Also, rusting cleats on my new boat

Dave.
               Your problem with the door coming off its rollers, was it a one off or do you know of anybody else experiencing it?

I've looked at my door and I am unable to lift it off the bottom runner and really can't see how it could come off. Do you think yours hadn't been put on the runners properly when the boat was built?

Problem I have had since new is the four supposedly stainless cleats that you put the ropes round on the topsides, they have started rusting... can you believe it.
Got straight on to Dan about it and he said " we normally just give them a polish".  I did that but two weeks later, rust appearing again, less than before but not perfect. No other stainless on the boat has done same.

Told him to get ready for a warranty claim on this one. He spoke to the factory in Poland and they apparently told him the cleats are put on before the hull and top of the boat are joined together and the only way to get to the nuts underneath the cleats to change them would be to drill four inch holes in the sides (deck side) by each cleat and then put inspection hatches in.

I just despair with this mob I really do.

If I'd paid this much money for a car I bet I wouldn't have to put up with this nonsense.

I think everybody should simply stop buying boats from this manufacturer until they start valuing their customers and stop treating us like the fools that we are not.

This might also explain why there are more second hand Arvors up for sale now than when I bought my first 250as four years ago.
