Cleaning, maintenance and servicing of the resin sports bar and
roller cover
z Your roller cover is designed for years of maintenance free operation,
however in certain conditions additional care may be required to
ensure smooth operation. If the vehicle is driven in extreme conditions
(hot/cold/dust) then maintenance intervals should be reduced.
z Regularly wash the cover. Only use mild detergents, liquid wax or
general purpose cleaner to clean the roller cover. Avoid the use of
products containing alcohol as these can damage the painted surface.
z DO NOT use abrasive compounds on painted or plastic finished cover
surfaces.
z Use only graphite powder to lubricate locks and lock recesses.
DO NOT use any other lubricants or oils.
z Regularly open the inspection covers and remove any debris from the
canister. Hose with water to wash debris from the canister and ensure
water flows freely from the drain tubes, refer to page 21.
z Regularly inspect all four drain
tubes for damage or splitting,
refer to page 21.
z Regularly clean the side rail
seal, side rail glide strips and
canister drive plates with water
and mild detergent.
