Full details
The TentBox Security Nuts are an essential accessory for any rooftop tent owner looking to deter theft and ensure their equipment remains safely mounted to their vehicle.

While they significantly increase security, users must be diligent about keeping the included proprietary socket in a safe, accessible place, as the nuts cannot be removed without it.

FAQs
Can I buy a replacement socket if I lose mine?

Do these nuts fit all TentBox models?
Yes, these security nuts are designed to be compatible with standard TentBox mounting hardware systems.
Will these nuts rust in rainy conditions?
The nuts are treated to resist corrosion, though routine inspections and keeping them clean will ensure they last for many seasons.
Can a standard wrench remove these?

Troubleshooting
Socket slips when tightening or loosening
Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the nut pattern and check that no debris or dirt is trapped inside the socket teeth.
Nuts become stuck or tight
Apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant to the threads and allow it to sit for several minutes before attempting to loosen with the socket.
Pros and Cons

- Weather-resistant design suitable for year-round use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the security nuts, first ensure your TentBox is correctly positioned on your roof bars. Remove the existing standard nuts and replace them with the TentBox Security Nuts, tightening them firmly with the included proprietary socket. Do not over-torque, as this may damage the internal threads. Compatibility is universal for standard TentBox mounting systems; however, ensure your roof bar channel is clear of obstructions before installation. For care, it is recommended to periodically check the tightness of the nuts after long journeys to account for road vibrations. Keep the proprietary socket in a dedicated, waterproof spot inside your vehicle, such as the glovebox or a tool bag, to ensure it is always available when you need to remove the tent.
