Installed them this past weekend, initially for my Xmas light setup. Only painstaking part was installing the mounting brackets in all eight locations. You don't have to install to all locations, but I figured I'd do it at once so I don't have to worry about losing the parts. After that, they are super easy to clamp on and install. Maybe an hour start to finish? I didn't time it.

If you have difficulty installing the crossbars you should be banned from mechanical tasks. It is simple and quick, only required tool is a small stepladder or equivalent.

If you drop the CT into entry height, then the stepladder probably is not required either ;-)

BTW, the nut installation tool/torque wrench was well designed and was plenty durable to do the job. The crossbars themselves are quite beefy. If you're not used to curling some light dumbbells, get someone to help you install them otherwise it's a pretty easy one person job.

I just installed my replacement crossbars. The first ones did not secure snugly down and had lots of play. The second pair for perfect and without issue. Just heads up the crossbars can come out of spec and do not allow for adjustments to make a tighter fit. Luckily they were in stock so only waited 2 weeks. The shop is no help to send replacements. Good luck

If it lifts, meaning base of crossbar and top of the trucks trim (long rectangular piece covering brackets), then they are not seated properly. I used Tesla app and returned then reordered. The Tesla shop I emailed but after a week I went the route I Just mentioned. Then, the shop started to play email tag with me. Not worth the time to handle that way in my opinion. Good luck
