Peugeot 308 SW - What bike carrier Mont Blanc Barracuda assembling - gpaxman7

I have just bought a twin pack of Barracuda (now being renamed Roofrush) carriers. I cannot fathom how the rear mounting plate should be fitted. I can only get it to the start poit of fitting (as shown in the diagrammatic instructions - see) but that means the two plastic lugs stick up in the hole in the middle of the load plate - hence it will not slide backwards. Most diagrams in the instructions and many photos on web (eg www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/car-ra3) show it further back so I'm still missing something.

I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give.

Hi there - Sorry I can't advise you but if the racks you have don't work for you and you're able to exchange them at the retailer you bought them from, I can strongly recommend these -

I bought some a few weeks ago to replace my ageing old ones and they are just great. Easy to fit and adjust, hold the bikes securely and really quick to get the bikes on and off.
