I just don't understand why they put a hinge on the roof of the run, when the direction shows it to be screwed down. Why the hinge?

I like the hinge, it gives you options for entering the run. The side closest to the hen house screws down, then there are latches that hold down the other side. Sometimes it is easier to just unlatch the roof of the run and reach in to grab the feeder; rather than to go through the little door on the side. Plus chickens aren't scurrying out. :)

I used 2 of the hinge locks on one side, instead of screwing it done. It's been helpful. I open up the roof to change the hen's food and water.

I didn't screw it down. It has two locks on the right. I open the top all the time to feed and water.

We modified our coop but the hinged piece on the top allows me to reach into the run and access the water container we use. It's quite handy.

There are covers on the roof that flip up and the cross bars thread into the roof

It is intended to mount to the roof flange by removing 4 existing screws holding the fan assembly to the roof and replacing them with included longer screws through the 4 mounting plates. The new cover slides over pins in those plates and then clips are used to hold it in place. Very easy install...if your existing fan has screws. Mine did not and was held in place with only sealant. I drilled thru the sealant into the roof to install the provided screws. I used new sealant to ensure no leaks due to the new screw holes.

There are 2 metal latches on the inside of the window that are spring loaded and will lock shut into desired position. So when the window is down you cannot open it from the outside.

I can't see your pictures, but I would think it likely that it might be tough to position the sucker so as to avoid having any of the suction cups on the edge of the moon roof section; that would not make for a good seal by the cup. I'd position the sucker on the roof forward of the moon roof if there is space, or at the top of the windshield.

If you mean a closed sunroof, the yes(LOL). If you mean open, it depends on the rails on your roof. If you have only the two that go along the sides, it's going to be difficult, because you would need to attached somewhere so it doesn't slip backwards. Hope this helps.

We actually do not have it hinged, We ran into the same problem. I use it to just prop it up! I think that was the only issue we have, other then that its working out great. We had some pretty bad rain and the girls stayed dry. I have 4 large girls and they seem happy. Hope this helped. Enjoy!

The top rung should be at the same height as the roof to avoid a trip hazard.

There are mounting bolts with threads under the plastic tabs on the roof . You just pop them off and screw into rack. Easy .

you basically have to center them up across the car and tighten the phillips head screw. since they have plastic parts the screws seem to not get tight. they will clamp the roof rails well. using to accommodate a ski rack. the caps with locks prevent someone fro getting to the screws. i agree no instructions, not helpful for a lot of people,but the concept is simple, they just grab the rails. help from a friend and two screwdrivers is a good idea.

Large wooden roof just sits on top....I originally put mine on hinges for cleaning etc... but then decided it was easier to just take it right off. It is not attached

If I remember the chimney is the key. It twists lock and unlocks allowing roof removal and loading. ...I hope

Try and place the two panels with the doors, on opposite side of each other. Better access.Start with sliding the bar over two panels, then third etc. One person holding them together, while one slides the bar down. Roof goes on last.

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

The Left side has a Cage Door you could open and leave open or detach, Then Bridge your roof to the exsisting roof. The BIG door opens Top to Bottom on the left side..Remove this door Completely and add the " wing" run from there however your roof line will not be uniform so you will have to construct something to make it weather tight. If I were doing this ..I would use the 1st option ( attached to the left end and Bridge the roof line to match )

It mounts TO the roof surface.There are videos on YouTube that demonstrate how installation of various models is done.

This hinge is built backwards, the top plate in the picture is supposed to be flat, it is not because it was put on backwards. No way to turn it around. i returned these for hinges which are built correctly.
