Troubleshooting A Hollywood Racks Anti-Rattle Lever That Faces Down
Question:
Issue with the rack staying stationary while driving. Have attempted to tighten and reinforce. Keeps ping down to the same position. When I tighten the rack into the receptacle I can’t get the handle to point in a horizontal direction. It always points down I loosen it and retighten with same result. The result is that the handle is much more likely to hit the ground Am I going something wrong so that it always points down? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Helpful Expert Reply:
To change the end position of the anti-rattle lever you would need to remove the rack from your hitch and turn the lever to a new starting position. This is a common occurrence for Hollywood Racks Bike racks like the # HLY84FR and unfortunately is the only way to adjust the handle to not end in a downward facing position.

Hi Kevin, My anti-rattle lever always faces down when tightened. I read you explanation: "...you would need to remove the rack from your hitch and turn the lever to a new starting position." I don't understand this. What to you mean by "turn the lever to a new starting position" ? Unless you unscrew the lever off completely, won't it just end up in the same place facing down? Please explain in greater detail. Thank you, Adam
