on opposite sides of the vehicle equipped
with hooks for anchoring loads with straps,
nets, etc.
Cleaning the rails
Dirt or other small objects that collect in the
rails can make moving, locking, unlocking,

Objects can be removed from the rails with a
vacuum cleaner, and the rails can be cleaned
with a moist cloth.
