MaintenanceUpdated 2 months ago
If your rack is dirty, squeaking, or has been on your vehicle for a while, it’s a good idea to bust out the tools to keep your racks and accessories functioning like new.
- Check and tighten bolts: Periodically tighten the security hitch bolt to ensure proper tension.
- Clean the receiver: Remove the rack from the receiver tube at least every two weeks and clean it to prevent seizing.
- Remove debris: Clear dirt, road grime, and debris from nuts and bolts to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect hardware: Regularly check all hardware to make sure everything is in proper working order.
- Keep it clean: Maintaining a clean rack helps moving parts function smoothly. Use caution with chemical cleaners, as some may damage the finish.
