How are you cleaning underneath your full roof rack?

Having a difficult time cleaning under my Gobi stealth. Any recommendations?

 

That’s the one thing I don’t look forward to when getting a rack. Especially the once a year detail jobs. Would have to take it off to wax roof

 

This is why I would want to do a clear vinyl wrap (or something of the sort) on the roof prior to a full rack installation.

Expensive, I know, but it would be nice not to worry about a rusting rack up there.

 

I dont even have a full rack, but one of the NFab basket / rack deals and even it is a pain to clean under it.

 

All I have is the Toyota rack and I even took off the two cross bars for cleaning purposes, I never put anything up there anyway.

 

You can get these microfiber bendable cleaner things at big box stores that are low profile and meant for wiping under stoves and refrigerators. They're like 3' long with those microfiber "fingers" like you see on car wash mits. I'd maybe check the mop section of the store.

I don't have a roof rack but if I did, that's what I'd be using.

 

Wait a minute, you guys clean your 4Runners?

 

Actually not very often.

 

Thanks I’ll give it a shot.

 

I have found this to get under my Gobi rack. Better than anything else I’ve tried...
