What is the difference between roof rails and roof racks?
Roof racks are designed to handle more cargo weight. Roof rails are mounted onto a vehicle in a north-south direction running parallel with the length of the car. They also provide an aerodynamic look to your car while giving you the option to tie down items that wouldn't otherwise fit in your car, on to the roof.
Is it OK to leave a roof rack on a car?
If you have a quality rack there is little to worry about unless you live where there is snow. Then the road salt and junk can cause issues if you don't regularly wash it. I leave mine on year round and almost never store inside when i do take it off for whatever reason.
