Sorry to hear another unhappy story about this mob. I've learned to buy quality and not price over time. Never mind having to buy twice for poor quality but the possibility of failure in the woop woop and being stuck somewhere would exasperate me. That feeling of "If only I bought the Aussie made gear".
Here are the pics i took today after i had gone to see my Nissan mechanic.
He stood back and said i dont believe what im looking at.
I also did a visit to a car resto place today and was quoted 2K to get what i want done.
Thats a welded in plate inside the roof, plug welded from out side and lead to finish off. No Bog allowed.
Then the entire roof painted with a 2 part hard clear coat over the top.
As you will see from the pics the problems that exist.
Im more than happy to answer any questions in a PM.
As i intend to take legal action against the supplier for the damage caused then report them for unsafe product on the roads.
Having spent years making B Doubles Skells And all forms of road transport, i know that if its unsafe it will be put off the road. Period.
As for the roof top tent you will see what i added to try and keep water out.
You will also notice the bend in the cross rails due to the force created by the end plates mounted on the gutter.
Take note of the cracking and fallen of powder coat on the rack, this happened in the first week.
Also look at the angle the gutter mounts are at compared to the rack, you will see that they are the wrong angle.
Causing the cross rails to bend and rip my roof open.
I have included the brackets they supplied, they are as they came out of the packet, totally useless. Note the placing of the holes.
Bugger me - I've not seen anything that dodgy for ages...... I'd be absolutely rotten if that happened to me!
Sorry folks some pics didnt get posted.
Not sure how to correct that.
Let my problems be a warning to all those that think they are getting a quality product, when in fact its only a copy from off shore.
Not one thing that i got from these people is right, not one thing.
The last time i visited them he told me about a snorkel they just had made.
And said and i quote what he said dont buy one cause the template isnt right yet.
Im at a loss as to how any one in Australia can support off shore product by promoting it in a mag?
Surely they are just as bad as those supplying the market with bad product?
Ask yourself should we support such a mag that leads us to believe we are buying a quality product?
When in fact its rubbish?
Just as bad as the importers in my book and may they go broke fast.
Always use paypal mate.Quote:

I have started disputes with them many times, and the sellers fall over backwards to get it right.
To date i have not lost out using paypal and i use it often, Thousands in fact have gone through paypal.
Sorry to hear all this mate and those pics are a shame!!!
The stitching looks very pox too and almost looks like house hold string is used rather then anything synthetic.
The roof rack is a whole nother story. Very dissappointing!!!
I'd be in tears then venting the spleen bigtime, good luck in your quest to nail these, these what, I'm looking for a word ,We'll call them losers for now.
Hope they don't drag this out as may be the case. as for"workmanship" I can't see any. Your Roof what can I say except leads the way to go. The whole 4x4 industry is &^%$&^
by losers making copies at the expense of someone else. I for one will be closing shortly for this reason alone,
Thats a pity to hear your closing up.
Sooner or later and it will be later on, people will wake up.
Who knows who may get hurt before that happens or a life is lost, all due to a quick buck.
I just hope that my problem steers others away from the imported rubbish.
And it is rubbish as you can see from the pics.
They do not lie.
