Winter is that time where it's normal to want to pack up, store, and winterize your warm weather outdoor accessories.
Removing a Hullavator isn't too hard - in the up position (arms retracted on top of cross bars), unlock the swing-arm and tip it up (so it's vertical but not extended/lowered) and pull it out (extend the swing arm) just an inch or two, then yank out the removable pin with your free hand. The swing arm stays put in the vertical position resting on the cross-bar (but you must keep a hand on it). Then just lift the unit up and off the cross-bar with two hands.
It's pretty heavy - no way around that. The Hullavator's mounting bracket stays permanently fixed to the cross-bar.
