Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and ensure the safe operation of your SNIXWOO All Aluminum Roof Racks:

• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check that all bolts and fasteners are tight.

• Storage: If the roof racks are removed for extended periods, store them in a dry, protected area to prevent exposure to harsh elements.
