Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Keep sand and grit out of the socket—debris can prevent the wedge from seating and reduce holding power.
- If the rail becomes loose over time, remove the rail, rinse the socket cavity, and re-tighten with the wedge seated properly.
- For seasonal removals, loosen the bolt a few turns before pulling the rail to reduce wedge binding.
- If the wedge or bolt is corroded or stripped, replace the wedge assembly to restore a secure hold.
