The issues with Gator cases have been resolved. The glue thing affected one case line. It has been a while since. This is not a continuing problem. Its hard to believe there are still cases out there with people who do not know after this long.
Probably they are still on second hand market, that's why.
Wow. Kudos to Gator for digging up an old thread and spreading the word.My two cents: I have used Protechtor cases and NEVER had a problem with them.
I just sent pictures of my Gator cases that were in this series. There's no indication of the problem in either of them but they are sending me new cases anyway.

early Mapex dual bass drum Saturn kit

Well it's good to know that they are still dealing to some extent with the problem.. I am sure there will be some of those cases still out there in use & causing damage..
(I only "regurgitated" this post because I was horrified at some of the damage in those pics)... That Sonor set was real bad...
Cheers
