Hate to hear that brother. Hopefully others can stay clear of them from our experience.

I really want their bed stiffeners, even though they want a premium for them,
theyre on top right now on my list, asthetically....
but with all this drama, makes me think twice...

Bummer to hear the mishaps from this rack, which I had only happened to come across this thread in some other research I was doing.
I had actually just received today my order from them purchased in July with their current 6 week lead time. Was going to document the whole install as I'm finding with a handful of brands that directions seem like a far afterthought. Whether someone is an experienced mechanic or beginner, instructions should be clear and easy to follow. Even on uptops website, there are no links in their instruction page for the Kilo rack. I only found the youtube install video through some searching.
But back to the OP topic and to help everyone get a more accurate update of quality control. I'll try and get some close ups of all the parts. See if anytthing "looks:" like it might be susceptible (granted some areas might not even be visible to the naked eye, but i''ll do my best)
Now i've just gotta some think of a solution that might seal the problematic areas you guys have mentioned. At the very least to help mitigate rust should QC not have been addressed thoroughly.
Hopefully I can get it all done today as I was planning to vinyl the top as well for an added layer of protection.

I just took some pics of mine today. Installed June 15 of this year. 2.5 months and already rusting in several spots. I’m going to email the company and see what can be done. Obviously, I’m not pleased.
Man, now I really am thinking that I'm gonna need to add some sort of extra coating. I get where the engravings start rusting since that seems done after the powdercoat, but all the other places like the slotting and threads?!?! that is either bad QC or jus carelessness I feel like.
I still love the look of the rack, and while measures shouldn't need to be done receiving a brand new product, seems like that is what is going to be needed.
