Does my Hollywood Racks TRS Need to Be Removed When It Isn't Being Used

Question:

Once youve put the rack on your hitch, can you remove and stow when not in use or should it be permanently attached to the hitch?

Your Hollywood Racks TRS Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # HR3000 is designed to be removed and stored whenever it's not in use since many people will use their hitches for towing or carrying a cargo carrier of some time. You can remove the hitch pin and take the TRS bike rack off your 2019 RDX any time you like, or you can absolutely leave it attached if you don't want to hassle with taking it off frequently. The TRS also folds up towards your vehicle for storage, which eliminates the need in most cases for removal.

You will need to remove the rack periodically when you take the car to a car wash or just to make sure that the locking hitch pin doesn't seize up.
