Using a roof rack on your vehicle will help create more cargo space without infringing on the people's space inside. No one wants to travel any distance without enough room to stretch out and enjoy the trip. Sometimes, there is not enough room in the trunk for everything you need. When traveling with luggage and other cargo, why not carry that on top of the car?
At Karl Flammer Ford Inc. in Tarpon Springs, FL, we can help get your car ready for your next trip by installing a roof rack for you. We will even help you learn the best way to secure cargo to prevent it from coming loose and getting scattered all over the roadway.
Remember, you need four points of contact when tying cargo to the roof rack. Most people use straps for this purpose. Attach one end of the strap to one corner of the roof rack and cross it over to the opposite corner in a diagonal direction and pull it tight. Repeat this for the other two corners.
