Question:

I recently bought and installed a 24x60 etrailer brand cargo platform. It is well made and went together very easilygreat product. Im looking for a suitable set of reflectors to install on it and am not finding anything thats really intended for cargo platforms. I see adhesive-backed strips and hard plastic reflectors that seem too wide for the square tubing that most cargo platforms are made from. Are customers buying oversized reflector strips and cutting them to the width of the tubing? If so, maybe a specific reflector strip recommendation plus pics or instructional video would help? Also, for the hard plastic reflectors, are customers supposed to drill into and compromise the corrosion protection of the brand new, nicely painted steel tubing? Maybe Im missing something, but it seems theres no good reflector system out there specifically for cargo platforms, and I suspect you sell a lot of them...

Expert Reply:

For reflectors to use with the etrailer cargo carrier you have now # e98874 we normally recommend the # RE10RB which is a quantity of 2. These have an adhesive backing that you can use to apply them to the railings of the carrier. This would be the easiest solution but these also have holes you could use to drill into the carrier and permanently like that as well.

Where you want to install them is up to you though.
