If the mount is not level, please review the instructions for potential missed steps or call our support team at 860-510-0134

Will an ACARI mount void my fleet vehicle warranty?
No. ACARI mounts install without drilling, cutting, or modifying the vehicle in any way. Because no permanent alterations are made to the vehicle, there is nothing to trigger a warranty void. This is one of the primary reasons fleet managers choose ACARI.
How long does installation take?
Most ACARI products install in 30 minutes or less with basic hand tools. The LP Series and AT Series are designed for fast field installation. The R-VID installs in approximately 15 minutes using existing license plate hardware.
What vehicles does ACARI support?
ACARI supports a wide range of work trucks, vans, SUVs, and law enforcement vehicles including the Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster, Ford Explorer PIU, Chevy Tahoe PPV, and more. Use the Fit Guide to check your specific vehicle.
What is the difference between the LP Series and the AT Series?
The LP Series offers a larger mounting surface area, while the AT Series uses a mono-body platform design. Both install drill-free. Use the Fit Guide or contact us if you are unsure which is right for your vehicle.
Can an ACARI mount be transferred to a new vehicle?
In many cases, yes. ACARI mounts can often be transferred between the same make and model, as long as the vehicle manufacturer has not made body style adjustments between those model years. Because the mounts are non-destructive, removal is clean and straightforward. Contact us to confirm transferability for your specific vehicles.
Do you offer fleet or volume pricing?
Yes. We can offer custom pricing upon request. Contact us to discuss your fleet's needs.
Are ACARI products made in the USA?
Yes. All ACARI products are engineered and manufactured in the United States.
What happens when I need to de-upfit the vehicle?
Because ACARI mounts leave no holes or permanent marks, de-upfit is clean and fast. Remove the mount and the vehicle is ready for remarketing or reassignment without any body repair. This protects resale value and eliminates the cost of hole patching at end of vehicle life.
