Thank you for answers. Follow-up: if the screw extends enough to slip into the indent, does it scratch the top of the hook on its way to the indent?

no, it is a flush screw and the screw hole is set up so that it will just be flush and they fit together. no scratches. hope this helps

No. it's not normal. I see what you are talking about but on my sons the ends of the screws are flat against the plastic so when I rub my fingers over them they do not poke out. I would return/exchange the one you have.

You really need to figure out how thick the stock is at that point. Depending on the particular polymer, it will have to be drilled a bit larger than the the core of the screw; otherwise you'll end up breaking off the screw. If it is only a little too long just unscrew it grind off the tip so it won't interfere with the mechanism,m and put it back in.

Also, I would suggest having a lubricant like WD-40, bar soap etc. as not all of the pre marked screw holes are exactly where they need to be. The lubricant helps the screw go in a little better. But watching the you tube video on assembly is a GREAT help to see how it is done.

The hook has a nylon insert in one end. The insert has a ⅜" ID to accept the ⅜" bolt that goes thru it. My S hooks are installed so I can't measure the OD of the insert (which fits into the ID of the S hook). I doubt that it is 1". This hook kit is really meant to be bolted onto a flat surface.

Yes. There are tutorials online to show you how to shorten it -- cut the hook off and reset the hook with the tool provided. The rope tightens like a chinese finger trap --if you push back on it to loosen it, it will come out.

Yes. Go to local hardware and buy adhesive felt or rubber weatherstripping to apply to the hook ends. Helps protect the finish. Check after each use to see if road vibration has worn it down. Good luck.

Hi Angela,in answer to your question if how does the hook come off? I haven't used the hook yet,but I would try to gentler work a sharp knife under the hook them when you get it off run spot with goo gone till. The residue came off.Good Luck.

Look at this product on the website, enlarge it and see if it is installed correctly. If it is then you may have to pull both hooks down together. While the product works well, especially for the price, it does not always move up or down evenly and you need to assist it. Hope this helps.

Yes it should not be a problem. Try it first with just the screw that comes with the clip, if it loosens up, then you might want to use a plastic expanding anchor.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

The hook might be removed permanently. It dos not fold down well and is a problem when packing it. Also, it needs to have a longer strip of Velcro give more options when closing it.

If you pull the tow sections apart (they will not break) you can see a plastic piece that has a screw. When you twist the piece when it is in the other piece, the screw causes the plastic to expand and the friction locks the lower end in place. I suspect somehow the screw was extended to far and the plastic is not contacting the inside of the upper piece to allow the screw to enlarge the plastic to lock it.

It should screw in with the half inch screw provided in the zip lock bag with the perch and suction cup. If the screw was not provided I would guess the company will send you a new one. Please try out this product. I love it and I am a tough reviewer!

only if the pole is the same size. It is a pretty standard size though. if it will screw into a paint roller it will most likely scdrew into the hook.

Mine was like that, too. I'm not using it on the handlebars of a bike, so the indentation may be ok, but I'm thinking it might be a packaging flaw. Since I use it on a mobility scooter, I just stretched it out and it works great now.

You can adjust how hard it grips with the screw on the end, but you have to use a light touch with plastic pipe. It won't put a hole in it but it will mark the outside of the pipe. One trick is to put a small piece of cloth in the jaws, and adjust the wrench so it does not grip the pipe really tight.
