Aluminium oxidation is accelerated by moisture. Many reputable Roof Rack supplier coatings flake off over time and expose unsightly white aluminium corrosion. Aluminium oxidation happens faster than that of steel, because aluminium has a really strong affinity for oxygen. Rather than flaking though like rust on steel, aluminium oxide just forms a hard, unsightly whitish-coloured surface skin
Our Des Sol Aluminium Roof Rack is coated with a specialised high strength 5 stage coating process not used by any of our competitors preventing unsightly white deposits and ensuring that your Roof Racks will last you for as long as your passion for overlanding does.
*Suzuki Jimny maximum roof load = 30 Kg to 40 Kg but a maximum of 60 kg is acceptable if fitting a roof top tent.
Marcel Smith –
Just some feedback, the roof rack is amazing. Drove a bit in high cross winds and head winds today at 100km/h and it was dead quiet. Even on normal roads where I normally experience the wind noise of the jimny, I am convinced that the cabin noise has actually reduced due to the aerodynamics of the rack. Great great product! Excellent job!
