GDW support FAQ
Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
-
How do I determine the maximum towing capacity for my GDW towbar?
You must verify the maximum trailer weight listed on your vehicle's Certificate of Conformity (COC) and compare it with the D-value on the towbar's identification plate. Always adhere to the lower of the two limits.
-
How often should I maintain my GDW towbar?
It is recommended to check all bolts and retighten if necessary after the first 1,000 km. Moving parts of detachable towbars should be kept well-greased, and the system should be inspected annually for paint damage or component wear.
-
Is the GDW towbar compatible with bicycle carriers?
Yes, but you must refer to your vehicle's user manual for specific guidelines on using bicycle carriers, as weight distribution limits may differ from standard towing.
