Recommendations for Preventing Rust on a Cargo Carrier

Question:

Can this piece be hot dipped galvanized in lieu of powder coated? I had purchased one several years ago and found that rusting was my only problem. I have since given that unit away. I am looking to purchase another one but have reservations due to the rusting problem. What are my options?

Expert Reply:

To my knowledge, none of the manufacturers offer cargo carriers in any finishes other than paint or powder coat. If rust is a big concern, I would recommend 2 things. First, when you are not using the cargo carrier, take it off the vehicle and store it in a dry place. If it will be used frequently, regardless of weather, I would recommend getting an aluminum carrier, either part # UWS03511 or # UWS03517.
