Section 1 continued:
Look at the gap or opening between the top of
the rear hatch and vehicle.
d) Check and confirm the following:
I) The trunk or hatch lid made of steel. Use a
magnet and check fit guide.
II) There is room for
the hook to “drop”
into the gap.
III) The hook can
attach to the hatch lid.
(The hatch doors on
some vehicles, like the 2013 Ford Escape, are too
thick for a hook to attach to).
IV) Open the vehicle’s rear hatch. There should
be no plastic molding that would interfere with the
hook. Note: The hook must not attach to the spoiler.
Do not use the standard upper strap if the vehicle’s
spoiler is made of plastic or fiberglass.

depending on the tightness of the hubs, you
may need to unlock one or both of the levers
on the lower hubs.
