The bicycle-car-rack is easy to install on the car and lightweight.
I found the assembly instructions easy to follow.
I have found that the rubber ratchet straps on the Thule rack are poorly designed. I have two other bike racks with ratchet mechanisms that are easy to use. Although I have developed a technique to use the Thule rack, it is extremely difficult to use and requires unnecessary fiddling and frustration.
