Should Hitch Bike Rack be Removed When Going Through Car Wash
Question:
Is it ok to leave bike rack on when running through a car wash?
asked by: George W
Helpful Expert Reply:
With the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Hitch Mount # TH92BJ or any other accessory, it is recommended to remove the carrier prior to going through a car wash. The manufacturer's warranty will not cover any damages incurred if you have the bike carrier installed while using an automated car wash. If it's a touchless car wash the risk is lower, but if it's a car wash with brushes then the risk is very high something would happen.
