Maintenance Tips

• Torque checks: Re-tighten all mounting bolts every 2–4 weeks, especially after off-road driving or carrying heavy gear like RTTs or awnings.
• Post-trip cleaning: Wash off mud, road salt, and dust to prevent corrosion on aluminum extrusions and hardware.
• Fairing inspection: Check the front fairing for looseness, vibration, or wind noise at highway speeds and adjust alignment if needed.
• Load distribution: Keep weight evenly spread across crossbars to reduce stress and maintain aerodynamic stability.
• Accessory mounts: Regularly verify T-nuts, panels, and mounted gear (lights, awnings, traction boards) are fully tightened.
• Coating care: Use a non-abrasive wax or UV protectant to preserve powder coat finish and prevent fading.
• Wind noise control: Inspect seals and mounting feet if whistling or vibration develops during driving.
• Post-off-road inspection: Check brackets, extrusion slots, and roof contact points for movement or stress marks after impacts.
• Rust prevention: Apply anti-corrosion spray to exposed bolts and fasteners in wet, coastal, or winter conditions.
