Thumbs up Kudos to KargoMaster

So I bought mine back when they first started shipping the racks. Mine didn't come with a prop rod, and doesn't have the bent left rear leg to accomodate the fuel door / license plate.

After seeing some of the enhancements that some of you got with the newer racks, I called the mfgr today.

Marcelles at Kargomaster was super friendly, understood my issue, and offered to send me a new rack. No charge for the rack. I just have to pay shipping, which is admittedly not cheap. Still, I think this is one of the best examples of customer service that I've come across. Ever.

I've had a few problems with parts on my congo cage. Marcelles is awesome. He shipped me new parts, no problem.

i went out to show a co-worker the kongo cage and noticed that there is rust on the left side bar. i looked closer and its not coming from the seam, its the bolt that is rusted over!

closer inspection found that ALL of the bolt heads are rusting over!
im thinking about sanding them down and painting them with some rust-o-leum...

any thoughts?

I've not had any issues with the bolts, but I didn't seal the seams very well the first time I put the cage together and ended up with rust all over the inside of the bars. I pulled it all apart, let the inside dry out, sanded what I could sand and sprayed a rust stopping paint. I then re-assembled it and over-sealed everything with silicon and used neoprene washers around the bolts and nuts and it's been great so far.

alright, after work i went out and took the bolts out, turns out its not the bolts, its rust coming from the slight space between the flat bottom of the bolts head and the curve of the bar. i took them out, cleaned everything up, replaced the bolts with a healthy dab of silicone sealant in that space. now i just have to wait til it rains again.

oh yeah.... anyone know how to get rust spots off the soft top?
