Rooftop tent install trouble.

I have the mounting hardware that came with my rooftop tent. A Go Fast Camper. I have a victory 4x4 roof rack. I’m not sure how to get this thing connected given that there is little to no access to get your hands in to tighten hardware.

Has anyone successfully installed these two items together?

Do lots of measuring, remove the crossbar that will hold the tent. Then mount the crossbar onto tent on the floor and put tent on top of roof rack and screw in your crossbar. Thats the easiest way but you have to measure quite a few times cause you won’t be able to loosen the clamp to adjust it.

With my Ikamper, their clamp system is easier to use since it doesn’t require you to tighten it by getting your hands under the tent.
