BTW, I contacted the factory under the warranty, but they blew me
off. We're on our own with this. On the good side, once it's done you
have a great glider!

You may need to look into the German or EU warranty rules. It seems to
me that this would be considered a manufacturing problem.

It sure is a manufacturing problem under anyone's rules. But the cost
of a refinish is a bit below the time, effort, and acrimony it would
cost to sue them, so I sighed, signed the check, and now have a
gorgeous glider and perhaps a bit more goodwill when I want to buy the
next one. Those of us who bought with the Euro at .9 got cheap gliders
in the end anyway!
