Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools to tighten the four U-bolts onto your vehicle's existing roof crossbars. Ensure that the crossbars are spaced appropriately to match the mounting points on the basket. The rack is designed to fit most standard square and round bar profiles. For maintenance, periodically check that all U-bolt nuts are tight before starting a long trip. Because the unit is powder-coated, it is naturally resistant to rust, but it is recommended to wash the basket with mild soap and water occasionally to remove road salt or debris. If the paint is scratched during heavy use, touch up the area with rust-inhibitive spray paint to maintain the integrity of the galvanized finish.
