Is it safe to leave rods/skis on the roof while driving in rain or snow?

It is generally safe to transport skis or fishing rods on your roof-mounted holder while driving in rain or snow. The carriers are designed to perform reliably in a wide range of weather conditions and will keep your gear securely in place during transit.

Skis, snowboards, and fishing rods are outdoor equipment, built to handle exposure to the elements. However, while short-term exposure to rain or snow during travel is not an issue, it's good practice to give your gear a quick wipe-down and dry off once you reach your destination. Prolonged moisture, especially if left unattended, can lead to corrosion, rust, or general wear over time, particularly on metal components.
