Just a note of caution. Be sure the bottom rail in centered in the groove on the bottom of the bag. Watch where it curves towards the rear. If not correct can chip paint.

Make sure you don't adjust too close to the side covers. Makes an ugly scar--mine came from stealer that way!

There is not much adjustment. I have moved mine as far back as they will go to try to keep the corners of the lids off my Sundowner seat. They still touch.
