Troubleshooting
Pad slides during transit
Ensure all straps are tightened securely and evenly across the tailgate. Check that the tailgate surface is clean and free of debris before installation.
Rearview camera is obstructed
Adjust the position of the foldable flap. Ensure the pad is centered correctly on the tailgate. Some truck models may require minor adjustments to the pad's placement.
Bikes feel unstable
Verify that each bike is properly secured with the integrated straps. Ensure the straps are taut and not crossing in a way that compromises grip. Check that the pad itself is firmly attached to the tailgate.
Damage to bike frame
Confirm that the bike's frame is resting within the designated padded areas and that the frame protection is correctly positioned. Ensure straps are not overtightened directly onto delicate components.
