Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the Frame and Mounting Points: Regularly check the roof rack frame for any cracks, rust, or damage. Ensure that the mounting points are secure and that all bolts are tight to maintain stability.
• Clean the Surface: Wipe down the roof rack after each use to remove dirt, debris, and environmental elements. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: If your roof rack includes moving parts like adjustable crossbars or rails, apply lubricant to these components to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Check the Load Capacity: Always ensure that you’re within the load capacity recommended by the manufacturer. Regularly inspect the load bars and supports for any signs of strain or deformation.
• Inspect Fasteners and Hardware: Check all fasteners, nuts, and bolts regularly to ensure they’re tight. Re-tighten as necessary to prevent any components from loosening due to vibrations or movement.
• Examine the Roof Rack Mounting System: Ensure that the mounting system is securely attached to the roof of your vehicle and that no parts are damaged. If necessary, replace any worn or damaged components.
• Protect Against Rust and Corrosion: Periodically inspect the roof rack for rust or corrosion, especially in areas exposed to moisture or salt. Apply a protective coating or rust inhibitor as needed.
