WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ROOF RACKS

A roof rack can make it easier to haul a bike, canoe or other equipment without having to buy a larger vehicle. However, it is important that the rack is properly installed and that you don’t put too much weight on it.

Ideally, you will read the instruction manual that comes with your roof rack to ensure that it is placed on the car properly. This manual will also provide guidance as to how much weight the rack can safely handle. Anything that is placed on the rack should be tied down before you start driving.

This will minimize the chances that anything falls off of your car while it is in motion. It can also minimize the chances that an item is stolen while the car is parked.
