Once adjusted, lift the latch on the crossbar and place it securely into the slot, ensuring it clicks into position. Center the crossbar within the slot and press the latch down until you hear a second click, indicating it's firmly attached. Repeat these steps for the other end of the crossbar to ensure a secure installation.
