With a quality roof rack, Langhorne drivers can haul more cargo and enjoy more interior space. They can also transport large, cumbersome items that are essential for their sporting or other recreational adventures. Whether camping, fishing, our mountain biking, however, it's important to know how to use a roof rack safely.
Don't Load Your Luggage Before Putting It On The Rack
To avoid neck, back, and shoulder strain, load your luggage once it's already on the rack. It will prove far easier to carry a few lightweight items up to this elevated container than it will to heft a fully loaded suitcase all the way up to your car's roof. You should also be sure to choose luggage that can withstand the ravages of the outdoor elements. You want cases or bags that are impervious to wind, water, and dramatic temperature changes. The more durable your luggage is; the better-protected your goods will ultimately be.
Take Your Roof Rack Off When You Aren't Using It
Although your roof rack may be built from sleek, durable, and lightweight materials, it's generally best to take this system off whenever you aren't using it. Changes in aerodynamics when roof racks are in place can have a very negative impact on the fuel economy of vehicles. Taking it down will also reduce or eliminate excess wind noise. At Mike Piazza Honda, your safe travels are our top priority. Stop by today to learn more about using and maintaining your roof rack, and getting the most from your auto.
