Does the Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Need to Be Removed in an Automatic Car Wash
Question:
If I mount the 11 fishing rod rack to my jeep factory cross bars, would I have to take them off every time I go to the car wash? Also do you sell a rear mounted for a 2inch trailer hitch fishing rod rack, if so does it have an extension so you can open the back door?

Expert Reply:
I'll start out by saying that any time you mount an accessory like the Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR576F on your roof rack, you will need to remove it from the vehicle in order to take it through an automatic car wash to prevent anything from getting caught on it. Unfortunately there's not a way around this and its done to protect you from damaging your vehicle and/or damaging the car wash machinery, which would likely be an expensive fix.
I'm not aware of a hitch mounted fishing rod carrier as it's not something we carry but they may exist.
