A lot of people say "easy on, easy off".... but just how exactly does it attach to the car? No drilling...that's good. But how does it attach?

This product rests on the top of the roof of your vehicle. You then hook the supplied straps to the ends of the bars and run them through your door openings on each side and connect and cinch the ends together inside your car or truck. I have found that the weight of the item you are carrying tends to hold it down pretty well. I use this product for 16-20 ft. long lumber. The racks on my canopy are not wide enough apart to catch the end of such long lumber so this rack makes it possible and keeps the wood from hitting my truck cab roof. Works well for light duty and infrequent use.

It's not difficult to remove, but its not meant to be like a bumper or anything. It fits snugly/securely. If you plan to remove it regularly, do it carefully.

It really doesn't fasten to the bumper of the car. It is just held on by gravity. It just sits on the flat spot on the bumper. However, on a hard surface, it doesn't seem to slide much. I hope this helps.

In my car I do not have to take anything off but the front wheel and yes it comes off very easy. It collapses nicely and fits well. It's been a great stroller for my dog and easy for me to use. I recommend it often.

Extremely easy. Guiding the rack into the hitch receiver is the hardest part, but after a couple of times, you'll be a pro at it. And it detaches even easier. Be mindful... It's a little heavy, so be prepared for that. Use assistance when you can, to avoid gouging your car with the rack.

Yes, it screws on and off easily. Well worth the price. Get it and you won't regret it!

You have to attach it. It's pretty simple. Make sure to be far away from trees as we almost had a fire hazard.

It can stay on, but I wouldn't recommend it. I parked out on the street overnight and somehow someone was able to steal it right off the car without damaging my car. Hope this helps.

It mounts underneath the hood using stock hole locations. It attaches pretty solid actually. I'm very satisfied with it.

I just have mine screwed on with my license plate. It's small enough that most people won't even notice it anyway. I've had it on for 6 months with no problems at all.

It screws on....the first time you do it it may seem difficult but it is easy to get the hang of...not to worry you will love it.

Do you mean does it fall off easily? It only comes off if you take it off. Hope that answers your question.

I can't remember exactly how we attached it. I seem to remember black U-bolts that come through pre-drilled holes in the rack. I don't remember the front to back dimension. I remember it was quite secure. It was installed on a 2003 BMW 325i sedan with OEM rails. We don't have that car anymore, and the rack is in a storage facility, out-of-state (consequence of having 3 kids all over the world.) I remember being impressed with the design, both before and after our 2000-mile trip. At the time, it was the only structured car-top case you could get that was compactable.

I take it off! it's very easy and I want it to be secure. When I leave it on is typically when my bike is on it. The front has rack has the ability to have a padlock keep somebody from removing the bike easily. Usually do this after a race when I am stopping to get something to eat. Although the bike and the rack under these circumstances aren't totally secure, it dissuades somebody from fooling around. Hope this helps. Bob

It comes off fairly (too) easily which is the problem. It falls off often just from the movement of the car and it is level. I would not recommend it to any one. It seemed like the perfect solution but was not.

It is a 3 part system. The quick mount suction cup that attaches to the window (or any other smooth surface), the cable that attaches the suction cup mount with the other end as a USB connection. The third and final part is the cigarette lighter attachment with USB connector (female). It also comes with a circular piece that can be attached anywhere. Adhesive backed and the other side allows the suction cup to attach (Good seal). This is a permanent piece that you would leave on the vehicle. It is not necessary to use though. Does this information help?
