I received it today; however, I'm not able to snap the supporting bracket onto the T-bar; Is the size wrong?

As I recall, they don't snap on, you slide them over the ends first, before you attach the top. I think that's how I did it.

No, it doesn't fit. I had to create a support for the bracket out of wood. It is useful once you find a way to install it.

You installed the bracket upside down. Unscrew it and flip it over and reinstall it and that will fix your issue.

Make sure that you are using the proper pieces on the appropriate side. The top bars are longer than the base, but that should not matter since the connector rods should roughly match up. You will have to slightly accommodate the connector rods when you slide the top onto the base, this friction is what gives the structure its sturdiness.

I don't recall a t bar reference. My bed is raised 6" in the front and in order to support the (raised) bed frame I attached the Bed Claw supports to the metal bed frame by drilling holes at strategic support points and attaching the Bed Claw with screws. Seems to be supporting the bed fine.

I took mine off a long time ago. He bent up the support bars something awful. If I did not throw it away you can have mine. All you would have to do is pay me back for the shipping and handling. I know it is still in excellent condition. Will gt back to you about it. e-mail me at smoriar@optonline.net if you are interested.

I have the same bracket... I can't see a way to cut it down... I have a 32 inch TV and part of the bracket actually sticks out one side... I thought I might paint it when I do some clean up painting this winter... you may come up with something better

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

How old is your bracket? Mine has been up for around 10 years with no problem at all. Now, I don't change the angle so ti pretty much stays in the same position as when I installed it. Try wrapping the male piece in several layers of teflon tape and re-tightening. That may help.

It's best to go to your local at n t to do this- they have 3 different sizes, so it's kinda a pain to have to go get a new one and hope it fits. It was less than 15 minutes at the store and they didn't charge me any thing. At least call them, maybe you'll get lucky- I didn't.

Not sure....I didn't have a bracket like that. Did you remove the rear fascia/bumber?

I'm sorry I can't help you. I ordered this for my husband and he hasn't put it in yet (it's been months). Perhaps the problem is the lack of mounting instructions?

Mine was broken too. Would like to have it fixed. One bracket is all I need.

Greetings: Mount the bracket end the same as the old one. Ignore the orientation of the support, there have been a few design changes for the better.Thank You, Lou Fishman
