To fit it in, the rear supports have to be tugged on and pulled together (towards the middle of the car) to fit flush onto the rear wheel houses.
So we had the panels in loosely, tilted the main hoop forward, slid the rear supports through the speaker holes and onto the main hoop while it was tilted forward. This alone took about 30 minutes of moving, tugging, fussing with the bars and rear trim panels. Once that's done, lock them in place with the bolts and force the bar into its home. Tighten all the bolts up, then snap the rear panels in place.
It took us about 2.5 hrs to finish everything up today.
