Can Rhino Rack Roof Rack # RRRS619B be Left Permanently Installed

Question

Question:

I ordered the rs2500 rhino rack, black aluminum. My question is, if I load up and travel a lot, is this okay for permanent, continuous use? Should I uninstall and reinstall every now and then, take apart to clean, etc. If Im going to keep them on there permanently?
