This was a very easy install on my 2011 Ford Edge SEL. With the help of one person lifting the overhead gate, installation took less than 10 minutes. You just need to insert a thin screwdriver into the slot to pry up the bracket. It was easier for me to remove the bottom part of the rack first. After alignment, new ones are simply pressed in with little effort. I would start from the bottom, it was good there. Well, from $25.
