Positioning: Place the two pads across the roof, roughly 2-3 feet apart, depending on the length of your gear.
Securing: Use compatible heavy-duty straps (sold separately or included depending on your specific bundle) to tie the gear down securely through the car doors or existing tie-down points.
Maintenance: After use, wipe the pads down with a damp cloth to remove road dust. Ensure the pads are completely dry before placing them in the provided storage bag to prevent mold or odors.
