Went into place perfect, easy to install. Could have installed it with one person, but If you have someone willing to take 10-30 minutes with you then it'll go faster. To prevent rusting, corrosion, and the screws stripping (like my basket screws stripped. I did everything correct and they still stripped, called Yakima and they sent more screws out free of charge right away. So my project was delayed a week) I put spray on it to prevent any of that happening to my extension. I camp, bike, and enjoy everything about the outdoors. This basket extension will help get my bike from point A to point B with no trouble at all! No more scratching up the inside of my Forester. :)
