Hey folks,
I've mounted the Rhino Backbone Pioneer roof rack.
The Maximus 3 system also leverages the Pioneer rack.
Question is - do any of you run this rack through car-washes that are NOT touchless? If so, any issues ever?
I realize it is not a good idea...but wondering if certain racks are more or less prone to getting caught in the brushes.
My jeep is filthy, and the touchless car washes don't accomplish much. Fully realize I can wash by hand, but I do love the convenience of the automatic car-wash.
An idea I've had is to purchase a custom vinyl cover (not too expensive) matched to the dimensions of the rack, along with draw-string / elastic or other closure...I'd opt for whatever is most secure. I'm thinking that this sort of cover might mitigate the potential for the brush to catch. Any thoughts on that?
Cheers all!
