Actually u know what? I did go in a drive through with it, and it was off. I looked back and he was laying in the middle of the car wash :(

yes, it has made it through multiple car washes @ home or @ the drive thru variety of car washes. : )

Make sure you put High temp silicon sealant around all the edges and it should have no problems surviving a car wash. I had to replace one of mine due to the plug getting ripped off. I had a hard time getting it free from the oil pan.

It should be fine with automatic car washes. Road salt in Pennsylvania doesn't seem to harm it. Seems like a tough coating that holds up.

I've had mine on through hands free car washes here in Nebraska and it appears to not have been affected. Mopar makes tough everything that I've purchased so far. The high pressure nozzle fact, I'm not so sure of. But the cover is made from a VERY durable material. Honestly I'd see if you could contact MOPAR themselves about that.

Yes I can handle it I power wash mine from time to time and also Stand on mine to wash my truck roof it is very strong. Because of the high-pressure you may get just a little bit of water that drips right around the edge by your tailgate but that is all

Mine seems to be holding up fine after several carwashes. Though I generally take mine through an automatic carwash rather than handwash mine.

I installed this on my two trucks. I've been using power washer to clean the engine and the compartment and I have not encountered any problem. I'll say it is water proof.

I do not use automatic car washes but I suspect it will hold up just fine. I wash mine at home. It does not leak and has been holding up just fine.

Mine has survived a minor bump or two when parking. I only use a "touchless" carwash, so I have no experience with the kind you use. I'd say "Give it a try."

I've had mine for over two years and have a monthly membership at a local auto wash. I'm guessing I've been through the auto wash 100+ times without any issues. Don't expect it to be completely watertight, though. I get a small amount of water in the box each time through.

That's an excellent question. After some bad experiences with some scratches left by drive-through car washes, I generally avoid them. Plus, I like the time to inspect my vehicle that hand washing provides. That said, my general experience with the bracket leads me to believe that it should be fine. Based on how it's mounted, if you've tightened it correctly, there's little that should directly affect it.

I drive highway all the time with mine with no issues. I also go through the car wash once a week with no issues.

My husband says yes you can. He has been through the car wash at least 3 times and it is fine.

I'm not sure about pressure washing, would not advise that. I have gone thru several car washes with no problems. I have put it thru some brutal winter conditions also and so far it has held up great.

I think it will survive the automatic wash rollers. This is made of rubber. I did not try my car in this environment yet. So far I think this is one of the better protection front frame in the market.If your car wash can break this frame, stop going there!

Nothing in it that will hurt your car or the environment. It will not super sudsy as car wash usually is, but if you are not addicted to bubbles you should like the result.

Hi Larry. The way this is designed I can't possibly see how a car wash could hurt it. It bolts to the underside of the front crossbar and actually sits tight against it while providing adequate height to make the license plate visible. I actually used a license plate holder so the top of the plate is supported by the plate holder with the bottom holes of the plate and plate holder attached to Westin plate relocator. It is working extremely well!
