I had the same problems with the repro "614" shroud. Interesting thing is I was communicating with Hoffmans Winners Circle the other day about the new 2 piece metal shrouds for B-Bodies. I believe he may be the main supplier on the repro shrouds to everyone else. When I mentioned the problem he offered to have a replacement drop-shipped to me from his manufacturer in Ohio. Say's they're constantly improving the plastic formula but still better than originals. I took him up on the offer but I have my doubts.
