It came off easy, but not quite as quick as the yakima, since you have to unscrew the bolts. There is a plastic piece that holds the tensioning cam, kinda like on a gas pump - the little piece that keeps the pump on so you don't have to hold it. This allows less screwing/unscrewing for future installs/uninstalls. Overall I'm quite pleased.

Side note: For carrying cargo... should I get a hard-bottomed bag (like the Thule Ranger 90), that would rest above the roof, or something that would rest directly on?
When you said a bolt on, is it kind of like a C clap, with the top of the clamp having a rubber to prevent slippage on the roof and then you screw it in at the bottom much like a C clamp?
