Is there a trick to getting the bar to extend? I have tried twisting it both clockwise as the box describes and counterclockwise. Please advise. :)

You have to twist the end s to a point then once up you can twist clock wise or to the right

This may be late to answer this, but I just had this problem and figured it out. Push the two locking size selection buttons in on the bottom bar and rotate it so the hook is easier to attach to then rotate the bar back until the buttons click into place now that the roller is attached.

Try turning it upside down. I thought both ends looked the same and had the same problem. Finally out of frustration I turned it upside down and it fit great.

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.

Like the other people who answered, i have the exact same bottle cage and the bar extender and there is no way. that picture should be removed for being totally misleading. i would still get the bar extender, its a great piece of equipment, I have 4 and plan to get more, they are really handy and allow for a lot of cool mods to my bike.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

when you look at the bottom of the bars on the RH side i believe(sorry, i'm at work and would not be able to check for sure), there are 2 screws that you need allen wrenches/keys to turn and you just need to loosen both up then extend it to the length you need then tighten it after. It's really easy to do.

You have to twist both parts in the opposite direction. I found it helpful to wrap some rubber shelf liner on each piece of the handle for traction. Once you get it loosened, it's very easy to tighten to the length you require. Good luck!

Hi, I am able to extend the machine fully by pulling the short knob out, but the seat won't slide. What am I missing here ?

I love this towel bar!!! It extends 5" from the wall. I have the 5" bar on top, I think it could be turned eitherway. Saw the exact at friends house and started looking! Found at a home improvement store, butwas more expensive. Hope it works in your space. Really looks sharp! Not the same basic single barsthat most people have. Good Luck!

Just make sure the bar goes the correct direction - the bar must be parallel with how your arms go because the strap Velcros around the bar. Just take a look at the picture and make sure your system has a bar like the one the Velcro goes around. (ie just a straight bar won't work)

On a guess do you have the left and right reversed or the top and bottom reversed? I seem to remember needing to reverse my first attempt. It went on differently than I expected.

For me, the size out of the box was the smallest it would go. Once extended out to a longer size - simply push back together. At least that's how mine works. I never had to twist anything.

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

Try turning the leg upside down or facing in on the opposite side, but also, like everyone else said, put the legs together first. I did this, but the legs are also easy to turn upside down or face the wrong way. it took me a couple of times to get it right. hope this helps!

I can only guess that you installed the bars backwards. Just take it apart and flip glop the bars so that what is on your left place it on the right and viceversa.

I have bought several of these. I did receive one that was "off". Did you adjust the bar under the table so it went to a lower placement?If it cannot be adjusted under the table, you should return it. My other 3 are perfect!!
