I am having much trouble getting the weather vane to lock the roof on..I just can't get it to tighten...is it me or is there a trick to this?

We found the lid to be hard to get in place in order to latch. We had to bend the lid just a little to allow the latch to catch. Using the same logic you may nee to slightly bend the lid cover to get a more firm latch.

You have to line the metal piece exactly with the hole it fits into, then push down and twist until its tight. Add that to the list of design flaws.

It can be a little tricky at first, the top removable portion has to be aligned just so, look at the underside and align it with the opening on the birdfeeder. Then once it clicks in give it a quarter turn.

My husband always fills it but he said u line it up by looking at the bottom of the bird, shut the lid and turn the bird to lock it down. Hope that helps.

When you are looking at the bird feeder from the front, make sure the arrow on the weather vane is pointing toward you, maybe just a hair to the left. Then turn the weather vane to the right, just like in the picture. Hope this works.

These features on my umbrella work o.k. The tilt mechanism is less then ideal because you need to release the top part ofthe umbrella for it to tilt. When yo look to close it you have to hold part of the umbrella. Push it up until it is back in lock position.

make certain the front top part is correctly fitted when closed... then tap the windowto see if the window will swing in arch.... the fit of the top section is crucial (in myexperience)..... good luck

I don't believe so it is setup to lock in at the correct degree of rotation for the vanes.

Our attic had poor ventilation (almost none).... When the sun hit the snow on the roof, we got water dripping from the ceiling. It appears that when this happens and the attic gets warm.... condensation forms on the inner roof and them drips down. At first, I thought the roof was leaking from the shingle side. The roofer suggested using a gable mount fan with additional venting. If you have high humility in the attic (winter too) then use a combination gable fan thermostat and humidistat. About $50.00 on Amazon.

I've always found the locking part to be tricky...but have always managed to get it to work by doing something like this(best I can recall): place the key in the lock, turn the key to the unlock position, slide the lock onto the bolt (while still having the key in the UNlock position), then release the key from the unlock position and remove the key. Give it a shot and let me know.Barry

Just a reminder, to tighten you need to turn it counter clockwise. Normally it's righty tighty, but not in this case-turn left to tighten. I tried to put it on by turning it right, but realize the error of my ways.

Jeremy you are right. It needs some way to lock it closed when wrestling it into and out of your car. Mine flops open and hangs up every time. I'm going to try a cinch strap and I'm sure I will find something at the auto parts store but the manufacturer definitely dropped the ball here. Wake up NOVA!

Yes, I have the same problem and I plan to call them when I get a chance....so far this has just been inside due to weather, but once it gets nice it will get used all the time and it needs to stay on...if I find a answer I will post it here.

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

I had that problem on the highway once. Really gotta make sure the windsheild channel is on correctly and top is inserted all the way. I have not had that problem since and i drive on the highway a good amount

We borrowed a family member's THULE. the Thule we have has finger like clips that open and close, which tighten down on the bars to attached the Thule. It all worked perfectly! the only thing we had to do was move one of the bars slightly closer together than indicated in the Hyundai instructions (there are three holes on the roof rack that the bars attached to. the bars fit perfectly, no issues with opening or closing the panoramic sunroof with the bars attached. however, to be on the safe side, we wouldnt open the roof w/ the Thule attached.

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

I had that problem since the kayak was hanging from my garage ceiling and I couldn't get my car under it. I tied a knot in the middle of the strap and adjusted it accordingly. That worked perfectly.

It took me one or two tries....undo it and set that side first and push down fairly hard. only when you feel it "click" (and it's subtle) should you move on to the other side. If this doesn't work, definitely let them know and get another one, since once I got my on, it has stayed on beautifully. I remember though that there was a moment or two when I thought one side might not snap, but it did.

Yeah, it does take some effort but I did get mine on. It's probably good to keep them from being loose - you could try other method such as fasteners if needed.
