The instructions for this product are really lacking, especially how to assemble the pressure plate. I didn't find any useful videos on YouTube either. I've attached images of what I found from doing some research online and looking at other comments. You should be aware before purchasing that the support team does not respond to contact requests. The online contact form on their website seems to be completely ignored by their (defunct?) support team. After finally assembling it, I found it very easy to mount to the pole on my roof: quick to install and quick to take down. When assembling the frame I installed a large piece of rubber between the top clamp plate and the main frame to allow some flexibility in the pressure applied to the kayak when secured (the extra pressure is absorbed by the rubber piece to prevent cracks). avoid ). kayak due to excessive pressure). Therefore it is important to place the rubber element UNDER the top clamp plate over the main frame. I've attached some photos to show how it goes together. Also, the holes in the clamp plate are too small to use standard harness hooks effectively. Overall I would give this a 3. It could have been better, and due to the lack of any kind of customer support, you're completely on your own to figure out how to put it together and use it.
