Product Information

Full details

The Rackhams Illuminated Taxi Roof Sign is an essential tool for professional taxi drivers seeking high visibility and professional branding. It is specifically designed for drivers with panoramic glass or aluminium roof vehicles who need a secure, non-permanent mounting solution. While it provides excellent brightness for low-light operations, users should be mindful to clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly before every shift to ensure the vacuum seal remains intact and reliable.

FAQs

Will the vacuum mount damage my glass roof?

No, the vacuum mounting system is designed to provide a secure grip without scratching or applying excessive pressure that would damage glass.

Can I use this on an aluminium roof?

Yes, this sign is specifically engineered to adhere to smooth aluminium panels as well as glass surfaces.

How often should I clean the suction cups?

For optimal safety, wipe the suction cups clean before every shift to ensure there is no dust preventing an airtight seal.

Is the sign waterproof?

The unit is designed for standard daily use and is corrosion-resistant; however, it should not be submerged in water or subjected to high-pressure car washes.

Are the vinyl stickers easy to remove?

The provided stickers are designed to be durable, but they can be carefully peeled off and replaced if you need to update your branding or contact details.

Troubleshooting

The sign feels loose or vibrates while driving

Clean both the vehicle roof surface and the suction cups with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil buildup, then re-engage the vacuum levers.

The sign does not light up

Check all electrical connections, inspect the cable for any signs of damage or pinching, and verify the power source is active.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure vacuum mounting leaves no permanent marks on your vehicle
  • Excellent visibility day and night due to bright internal LEDs
  • Perfect for non-standard roof materials like glass or aluminium
  • Quick and easy installation for daily drivers
  • Corrosion-resistant construction for longevity

Cons

  • Mounting effectiveness depends heavily on surface cleanliness
  • Not suitable for textured or fabric-covered roof surfaces
  • Requires regular inspection of the suction cups for safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

  1. Wipe the vehicle roof area thoroughly with a clean, microfiber cloth to remove all dust, grease, and grime.
  2. Ensure the suction cup faces are also clean and free of debris.
  3. Position the sign and engage the vacuum mounting levers according to the included fitting instructions until firm resistance is felt.
  4. Apply the provided taxi vinyl stickers to the designated sign face for clear identification.

Compatibility

This sign is designed specifically for glass and aluminium panels. Do not attempt to mount this on textured plastics, vinyl wraps, or soft-top roofs, as an airtight seal cannot be guaranteed.

Maintenance

Periodically check the rubber suction cups for signs of drying or cracking. If the suction power seems to diminish, clean the suction cups with warm, soapy water, rinse well, and let them air dry before reinstalling.
