After I watched the video for rack installation on line, then I give it a try. Wow! It really is a clever design and well solid material, I've never seen and tried a product like this on market before. This rack is super easy to install, remove and in compact size, light weight too. I can even carry it in my trunk without taking much space, slip it out and install in only couple minutes. It is safe and stable as well, and the price is right. I really love it.
