Just checking here before calling the mothership... I just got a set of charcoal and silver tiles... The charcoal are all fine. The silver are all "bad" to various degrees...
The tile has some plastic extrusion in one corner that needs to be scraped off (not a huge deal but annoying since they come in 4, and I lay them in 2x2 so I hate to separate them and reattach them) but mostly, there seems to be a defect in the molding of the clips... The are too close together and therefore do not "snap" in place to secure the other tile. The end result is very loose joins with a gap between tiles, looks sloppy -see pics. The tiles do not stay together tightly, even the bunch of 4 as they come in a box breaks apart when you pick it up, especially if the defective locks are on the end...
I do not recall this from my old garage racedeck, and the charcoal tiles are normal. So I'm guessing bad batch ? All 3 boxes are the same to varying degrees... I'm not looking forward to sending that back (small car) or waiting for more... I tried bending the tabs on a couple tiles but that does not work, they return to their close-together state and I have a saggy join, not a snap-tight set of tiles... opinions ??? TRicks, tips? Live with that ? See pics: Red arrows bad, green good, for contrast. Right outta the box, it's pretty obvious they were molded wrong or cooled off in a bent state !
