Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Perfit Liner running boards, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wash the running boards regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the stainless steel finish or plastic pads.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts and nuts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Rust Prevention: While made from stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh elements (e.g., road salt) can still affect the finish. Rinse thoroughly after driving in such conditions.
- Pad Care: The non-slip pads are UV-resistant, but keeping them clean will help maintain their grip and appearance.
