Never, but never forget to remove what you have in your roof rack

Specially if you are going into an under ground parking lot. |
I solve that issue by not having a rack. It is good when it snows. The lack of a rack makes it easier to clear the roof.
But that looks painful. Make sure you seal it well when you put it back. |

We can always tell us never forget, but always forget when it happens.

Thats right.
Anyway, I didnt like the fact they are fixed, cant move them so I think its a good chance to buy adjustable bars. |
Yes, they may not durable enough after fixed.

Here is another option for those that need more storage when traveling without a trailer
https://www.harborfreight.com/750-lb...ier-62660.html You can then use a bag like this https://www.harborfreight.com/54-1-2...ver-95165.html Or get those stackable totes that have tie-down slots. I have put six of those on my carrier before. |
I should also note that I have not used this with the van yet, but I can't see why that would be a problem.
Also, I mounted a trailer light kit and lighted license plate holder to my carrier. I did not want people hitting into the rack, so I figured the lights would help with that. Then I put the license plate back there to keep the police happy. The 750lb load limit is plenty for me. I also like that it can fold up when not in use, but that can also be a pain with the way I mounted the license plate because when folded up the plate is not visible. I think I might mount the plate on a hinge so that it can swing |
Ahh sweet!
I also thought about them, but my VAN doesnt have the hitch. Weird, but I dont have anything to tow. So I thought using what I have would be smarter... and look at me! |
Updates.
This is how the bar was after i went into the underground parking lot. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...7add158447.jpg So I bought these from Amazon https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...d458a4f970.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...e73989170d.jpg |
