Agreed I tried by myself using duct tape to hold it in place while I went inside the car and screwed it down. Luckly the wife showed up to help and it went much easier. The last thing you want is for it to crash down on the ground putting dings in it. Help holding in the final step is good advise. Plus only start the screws don't drive them home. ALso start on the outside holes on both sides first then move to the inside holes. You don't want to tighten too much since it's metal on plastic. I drove around for a week and then tightened it up again. Also I left off the inside plastic until we got a good rain just to make sure the holes were water tight. I dabbed a little clear caulk on the screw heads inside the hatch just to be sure. You can't see it after the plastics are back on.
