from your vehicle's bodywork. Make sure that the bottom (2) and top (3)
feet are firmly against your vehicle. If your vehicle has a hatchback, the
bottom foot (2) must be firmly against the bodywork and the top foot (3)
must be positioned against the rear window.

and the top foot (3) must be firmly against the
boot.

Adjust the arm to an angle of 10 to 30 degrees
above the horizontal.
