how do you release the rack down? It says "one hand release" but I don't have a clue what releases it. thanks

I think you just left the top bar off of the tire. Then it should just come off. You will figure it out.

Do you see the two red handle in the middle of the rack. Push them together and the rack will go down

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

It comes off the same way the side cases do. When you turn the key counter clockwise, the handle pops up and the hooks holding it on the rack pop open. To reattach, you just place it back on the rack and close the handle and it locks back on the bike.

On the bottom of your shelf there are brackets with slots to slide the shelf into. You will not need to uninstall the rack and it doesn't slip over. It would be inserted into the groves at the base. The other customers may have a slightly different rack system but for the one pictured you can see where the rack would slide in without need for uninstalling or disassembling.

No, you have to unscrew it. I preferred that for a little more theft deterance. Overall I love this rack

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. !!PLEASE READ!!.. DO NOT UNSCREW ANYTHING!!Other sellers of this Collapsible Double Bar Clothing Rack do not supply a set of assembly instructions. When you first receive this rack, it will NOT unfold directly unless you take the two "Adjuster Bars" completely off the rack. You will notice on the frame uprights on the inside of the rack there are chrome push buttons and open holes above them. Those two bars are to adjust the height of the top hang-rail. They both must be taken off the rack to be able to get the rack to unfold and the two side uprights to fold up. The Best way to do this is push the chrome button and turn/ twist the adjuster rode while its in the rack and then just pull it all the way out/ off the rack. That is what gets in the way of letting the side frame uprights fold up. After that, just put the adjuster bars back down the tubes into the rack. Also be careful whom you buy this Double Bar Salesman rack from on amazon, Alot of sellers advertise the commercial grade version of the Single & Double Bar Collapisble Salesman Rack but actually sale the cheaper knock-off version. That is made of a thiner steel tubing and not a solid clothing rack, meaning it comes apart in more places than just the top bar detaching from the rack. The entire bottom part of the rack should be one solid peice to rate as a true commercial grade rack. thanks Ben Elkin Classic Store Fixtures

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and we can open the hack without taking the bikes off. We remove the pin to rack and lean it down. You need to hold onto the bikes and the rack does not lean down all the way.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

the drying rack is easy to take down and put away. just unlatch it and lower it down and lift up one side and carry it with two hands to where you are going to store it.

Yakima makes a lock that attaches to the end of the bolt after its been placed through the rack and hitch. Once you tighten the bolt and add the clip, you simply place the lock on the end of the bolt and lock it with a key. Someone would then have to break off the lock in order to unscrew the bolt and take your rack. Pay close attention when putting on the lock because it will seem like its on and locked when it isn't exactly in the proper position. After putting on the lock and removing the key, I usually give it a few good pulls to make sure the locking mechanism is engaged properly.

Mine doesn't rock at all, so I don't think that is normal. I'm assuming you have the yellow piece with the red button attached so it is secured to the rack, but other than not am not sure what else you should do.

There is a red button "pull up" release behind the upright rack post. Pull up and the post tilts downward allowing access to the lift gate. Pretty awkward if there are bikes (more than one) on the rack but easy to use. The actual support bars for the bikes fold down with a red toggle at the top of the rack for use if you want to leave the rack in place (without bikes, of course).

First thing you should ask is does rack release allow it to drop eonugh so you can open the rear door. The premier does not and the rear Jeep door can not be opened unless you take the entire unit off the vehicle. Would rather not travel with a couple of wrenches to remove and then replace everytime you want to open the rear cargo space. Very dissappointed.

No, the rack is loose and you have to reach in and pull it out!!Geo Coffell

It is hard to explain. Hold the unit with two hands in front of you like you are holding a steering wheel with your hands at "9:00" and "3:00" with the U-shaped metal frame opening upward, just like the letter U.Then cross your hands over each other bending the unit into two small circles.Hopefully you saved the storage bag and can put it back inside which will keep it from popping open until you need it again. Good Luck!
