Is a Roof Rack Illegal?
1 Answers
Adding a roof rack requires applying for approval and modification procedures at the relevant vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal modification. Maintenance and care of the roof rack: 1. Do not overload: Avoid exceeding the load capacity of the rack, paying attention to both the rack's weight limit and the car's actual carrying capacity; 2. Install a lock: Ensure the rack is equipped with a lock core and key, and always lock it and remove the key when in use; 3. Choose rust-resistant materials: Aluminum alloy roof racks do not rust but may undergo slow oxidation over time. Rainwater or car wash water containing acidic or alkaline substances can also cause slight surface erosion, leading to minor discoloration over time, which is normal.
