Can Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for 2016 Honda Accord Sedan go Through Car Wash
Question:
Hello, I was wondering if the following roof rack would be able to handle going through a car wash. Part Numbers: RRVA137B-2,RRRLKVA,DK359 I know I would need to remove the kayak carrier, but I was wondering if these roof racks would be able to go through a car wash. Do you normally have to take off roof racks before going through a standard car wash? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

That's a good question, and the Rhino-Rack roof rack should be removed from your 2016 Honda Accord sedan before going through an automatic car wash, as should, like you said, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512.
All roof racks (and accessories) should be removed before going through an automatic car wash in order to ensure they don't get damaged by the high pressure spray. If you are washing your Accord by hand though, you can leave it on.
The parts that make up the rack for your 2016 Honda Accord sedan are the following:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK359
This is a great choice for a roof rack for your Accord because it is easily the best value. It offers the same high-level of quality and durability as other name brands, but at a more economical price. I have added some links below to video reviews for you to check out as well.
