How do you remove the bottom panel for the cables/cords to exit the rack? The Owners manual doesn't give any details and the rack is far too heavy for me to lay it down on its back and look. Can anybody help me?

Flat head screw driver you can pry the panel out. Much like a slug out of an electrical box.

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

Definitely not something you'll be taking on and off regularly. Though perhaps you could just swivel the rack around so its above the top tubestay? Not sure if that would work for you but that would be your best bet. You'll be stripping screws like crazy and its a pain enough to get it tightly mounted that theres no way you'd be taking it on and off often.

This has a like a rectangle shape in the back where the rack slides to. Hope this helps.

Make sure the "L" piece is facing up when you put it in the rack slot. The rack scoop will be almost perpindicular to this area. Not sure if this makes sense but the tip of the part of the rack is the only thing that should be facing up. The rest of that part of the rack should be at the bottom of the slot. Also make sure the other end is placed in the round hole before placing the "L" shaped end in the slot.

Remove the bungees immediately! Then get 2 bungee cords and cross them thru the handle on top of the rack. To remove, just unhook the bungees. Easy on, easy off.

You can actually remove the complete hard top without tilting or removing the rack. The hardtop will slide under the rack. On the other hand, you will need to tilt the rack to fold a soft top up.

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.

There is a spring loaded pin to pull up at the base of the rack. This allows the rack to tilt down. The pin stays in place so the rack just clicks back in when raised.

It is quite easy to remove the racks, however because they fold down you shouldn't have any issues and should not have to remove them.

I removed the back panel. You don't need protection from the rear and the cart cover is easier to handle. You do need to add some straps so the top doesn't slide forward. There are 2 straps hanging down from the top in the back that have buckles that you can attach extensions with a hooks similar to the straps on the side. I hook these straps to the basket in the back.

There are two panels on the bottom activated by pulling on a tab. A quick pull and all the rings fall out the bottom.

It's structural. I'm not positive why it exists, but my guess is that it has to do with keeping tension on the back panel. You might be able to get a fingernail under it and pull it shut.

The upper part of the rails slide off - you have to push the buttons on the side of the rails - like you will to adjust the height after you have put it together. It is unfortunate there are no instructions with the rack. Hope it helps!

The adjustable racks on both ends are not removable. They can be extended to whatever length you need separately or left in the main rack.

You could leave the bottom panels out. However, to make it more stable you might want to attach a couple of thin pieces of wood that nail or screw in across the bottom.
