A roof rack has always made a cool design for vehicles, but utilizing the roof rack for multi purposes is simple.
For starters, it's all about even support. Whether transporting your precious bicycle or lumber, it is important that the item(s) is evenly supported. This might mean maneuvering them around a bit until they feel secure. Next, you're going to want to use roof rack straps on each corner of the roof rack. Depending on the item, you can strap the item horizontally or vertically. The idea is to make sure the item will not move at all while on the road. You can come and visit Cassill Motors, and we can show you in person how to strap items to your roof rack.
After the item is securely strapped to the roof rack, you should drive a short distance with your 4-way lights on and check to see if the item is still secure and make adjustments as needed. Our team in Cedar Rapids, IA can help you further.
