I'm about 6'1" and can stand behind the van and slide the rack assembly onto the EX's side rails without help, but just barely.
|
 |
......then just push the whole thing forward to the desired position.
|
 |
The rubber pad under the "foot" protects the side rails. Notice also that the bracket is tightened in an out-of-the-way position so nothing gets scratched going on or off.
|
 |
Loosen the bracket enough so the hooks can engage the mating holes on the other side of the rail.
|
 |
After getting the hooks in position, tighten the thumbnut.
|
 |
Like so. Ready for the covers.
|
 |
A cover for each of the four feet. Only one on each rail needs a lock.
|
 |
This is the side without the lock cylinder.
|
 |
Don't forget to lock 'em down or the caps will fall off.
|
 |
Done - and putting the rack on or taking it off only takes about five minutes so you don't have to leave the rack installed.
|
 |
Now to wait for some decent weather.
|
 |
Lots of room for adding something else as long as it's lightweight.
