Tricks to Make Your Roof Racks Last Longer 

Now that you have bought the best roof rack, you should know what next. Owning one of these beauties and fitting them on your car is the best feeling ever for adventure lovers. You should see to it that you explore all its possible potentials. Regardless of how sturdy they look, you'll need to be meticulous with them so that they can last longer. Caring for your rack is the easiest thing to do after brushing your teeth. It is straightforward and worth your effort. 

Have you bought the best roof rack? Follow these tips below: 

Use the right cleaning products 

How do you clean your car? Do you use any cleaning agent from the grocery store or ask an expert for a recommendation? I guess the latter is the case. When you use fake products, you'll have to repaint your car more often, which costs money! In some cases, your vehicle starts rusting. No one wants that. It is the same case with roof racks. They are as delicate as your vehicles. Remembering to clean it is one thing, and using the right product is another. Ensure that you don't settle for harsh cleaning agents that contain bleach or alcohol. A car washing liquid and water would do. If you want to clean it more thoroughly, uninstall the rack before washing it. 

Do not patronize a quack car wash 

It is okay to outsource the job of cleaning your car to a third party. While you do that, ensure it is in safe hands. Not every car wash is qualified to care for your roof rack. It would be best to remove the roof rack before you go to the car wash. It would be best if you were more careful with drive-thru carwashes. This is because they can snag on some machinery in the car wash and damage your vehicle. It can also damage the car wash itself. To avoid paying extra repair fees, leave your roof rack at home, and don't try to hit two birds with one stone. 

Do not overload 

It is tempting to want to pack everything on your roof rack. Looking at them, you'll think you can have everything on them. Even the best roof racks do not have unlimited capacities, and overloading could cause severe damage to you and other drivers on the road. It may also bugger up your track. If you stick to the rules on the instruction manual, that'll be fine. When you reach the limit, find an alternative means of transporting what is left or keep them somewhere else. Before you start packing, assemble all the items and keep the most important ones aside, followed by the less important ones. Pack the most important ones and if there is space left, pack less important ones. This saves you the stress of carrying what you do not need.
