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").
