Must be cold... Cold weather fronts on backorder

Nationally. Just ordered mine today and it'll be... they aren't sure. Couple days or a couple of weeks. Probably warm up as soon as I get it installed!

Winter Fronts

Joel,

I live in Houston, Texas, and I don't really need winter fronts, but I was curious about their availability here. I called my dealer and asked parts if they had any on hand. He told me they had none, but he would be happy to order one, if I would drop by and pay for it in advance.
He said that his computer showed that 110 winter fronts were on backorder. According to him, none were available in this area or anywhere else. He didn't know how long it would take him to get them either.

when i called my local dodge dealer- he also told me he was out. but i asked him to look to see what dealers had them in stock. he gave me the name and phone numbers of five dealers who had them in stock, within a 250 mile radious. called the first number he gave me for a dodge dealer in ohio-they had them and they shipped one out to me the same day-ups. so, call your local dodge dealer and ask them politely to give you the phone number of another dodge dealer that has them in stock!

I ordered one. Closest one was in NH. Should take a couple of weeks. One dealer I talked to said they were on backorder but showed the scheduled ship date had already passed. He said, in his experience, give it a week or so and they'll ship. And the scheduled shipment (from the vendor, I guess) was for something like 150 or 200 covers. Since there's 110 on backorder, that means they'll be plenty to fill all the backorders, including mine.

I can wait. It won't kill me. And I should have wised up and got myself one last fall anyway.
