How to Install Thule ProRide on Driver Side to Allow Bike Loading to be Easy

Question:

I have purchased 2 of the Thule bike racks number: TH598003. The ne on the passengers side of the car is in good position to load and upload bikes because the bar that grips the frame is behind the bike. The same rack on the drivers side much too difficult because the bar is now on the wrong side of the bike. Question: can I take the bike rack apart put the bar on the opposite side of the rack to make it a left side mount as opposed to the right side mount? Or is there a different model number for the Left Side Mount Rack?

What you could do that would be easier is just have the Thule bike rack part # TH598004 facing the opposite direction on the driver side so that the install is as easy as it is on the passenger side.
