Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward using the included universal U-bolts. Before mounting, ensure your vehicle has factory or aftermarket crossbars installed, as the basket requires these to clamp onto. Check the spacing between your bars to confirm it aligns with the mounting points on the basket. For maintenance, periodically inspect the U-bolt hardware to ensure it remains tight after rough driving conditions. Although the basket is galvanized and sprayed to resist rust, cleaning it with mild soap and water after exposure to salty road conditions during winter months will significantly extend its lifespan.
