Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your cargo carrier platform is clear of debris. Align the cradles based on the wheelbase of your specific bicycles and bolt them securely to the carrier mesh or rails using the provided hardware.
This kit is compatible with most SUVs, trucks, and RVs equipped with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier. To maintain the kit, periodically inspect the strap buckles for dirt buildup and ensure all mounting bolts remain tight. If you live in a coastal or snowy area, applying a light coat of rust-preventative spray to the bolts can extend the life of the kit.
