Troubleshooting
Boards feel unstable during transit
Ensure the webbing straps are tightened securely using the cam buckles. Double-check that the foam pads are correctly positioned under the boards and the car roof.
Webbing is difficult to tighten
Check for any twists or obstructions in the webbing. Ensure the cam buckle is properly aligned before attempting to tighten.
Scratches appearing on car roof
Verify that the raised EVA foam pads are positioned between the rack and the car roof. Ensure no debris is trapped between the pads and the roof. Make sure the rubber cam buckle covers are intact.
