Two things...

Easiest way, loop a piece of rope or something around the hook.  Pull it out and over to the next slot.

DO NOT DO THIS WHILE LAYING IN YOUR TRUNK.  You will have a panic attack when it fails.  Ask me how.  :misbehaving:

The first time I took my bars out the kicked forward (I knew it was going to happen, did it on the 70), but being IN the trunk while that would happen.....couldn't even imagine

 :cooldancing:on my -70,i just moved it with my hand with no problem,to tension 1 step.so now it stay up loose,but up.i guess that if youve got a rear wing or a rack on the lid,it would take more to tension it.but of course,the worlds strongest man-Magnus Samuelsson is from Sweden :smilielol: :2thumbs: :clapping: :woo:
