Troubleshooting
Barrier rattles during driving
Ensure all mounting points are tightened securely according to the installation guide. Check that the barrier is correctly seated in its designated position.
Difficulty aligning mounting points
Double-check that you have the correct barrier model for your specific vehicle. Ensure no obstructions are present in the mounting area.
Scratches on the barrier's finish
