Ray....We have had the same problems....But we didn't get offered the $50 for our time and labor..... We called and complained...it seemed on deaf ears..... Also....They advertise pre -antiseized bolts on some of their racking....but it is certainly not so with their top of pole racks.....Some times the gimble bolts have anti seize and and sometimes not.....lack of consistency is a head ache.... We are exploring alternatives..
