I reached out to Saris to see how they install Hatch Huggers, part # SA3035
They recommend the following steps:
1.) Put the Hatch Huggers inside the rear door with the straps vertical.
2.) Close the rear hatch.
3.) Shimmy the straps up to the side of the hatch near the install location.
4.) Install the Saris Bones rack per normal instructions, skipping the side straps.
5.) Feed the Hatch Hugger Straps into the side quick release mechanisms.
