I have been trying to contact Rover Solutions for months now to enquire about their products and have gotten no response. Nil. Anyone know what is up and where their parts are being distributed?

from what i have seen on the website, they are no longer taking orders directly and are making arrangements with retailers. i guess like a lot of business crap...it takes nine time longer than anyone can ever imagine.

Just a guess here, but shipping one roof rack or bumper to one person across the country can be cost prohibitive and inefficient.

However, having a distributor who recieves shipment of several racks brings down shipping costs considerably. That distributor can get that rack to you sooner and at a lower cost. At the same time, that distributor can show you the product in person, try it on your vehicle, and deal with install probs directly. I can think of many more advantages of this arrangement.

Downside? Kyle may have to deal with flakey slow (or no) pay clients/distributors!

Just my 2 cents-

bryan what is it you are interested in?

racks and bumpers wont be made for at least 2 more months and even then you are at the back of the line.

ran out of time and materials + a design changes comming.
