How Hard is it to Remove a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack when Not in Use

Question

Question:

After this rack is installed the first time, does it quickly clamp and unclamp, or is the screw and allen key used to tighten it down and release it each time?

You would need to use the Allen key to remove the Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR78MR every time. But it isn't as difficult or time-consuming as it sounds. After you have done the initial installation and have taken the rack off and put it back on a couple of times, it might take you all of 5 minutes to remove it or put it back on. I have included links to a video review and the instructions for you.
