As I recall without looking at them now, the single screw tightens both towers against bars, and towers agains car body. So, Bill is right - when screw is loose, towers can slide along the bars. At least they do this without that small plastic insert. For this reason I also had to mark position of towers on racks with a pen (position of towers on the car roof can be seen due to the abovementioned "shades"). > > My Thule towers slide around only when I take the racks off to store > > them. > > They're not supposed to do that.
