How difficult is it to remove the rails during the day and only use them at night?

We do not remove the rails during the day but drop them all the way to the floor and they are not in the way at all. They are very easy to use in general. Hope that helps you

The rails are held up by spring loaded pegs. Pull back on the pegs and you can lower the rails or pull the rails out of the cross bars that go under the mattress. Generally you would just lower the rails so they rested on the floor. Depending on the bed height this would make the top rail about even with the mattress.

I agree. The side rails come as part of the main frame. There is no way of taking one off.

The rails are easily removed. Only takes a couple of minutes and you can easily reinstall them.

The rails are made of a high density plastic type material. They can be cut to any length. I have cut one of the rails in half for my personal installation.

Kate, These are very user friendly. It may take 10 minutes per rail by yourself, 4 minutes with help.

We keep it on all day and turn it off at night. It hasn't caused any problems.

I just checked on ours and if it is user removable at all it appears it might be an intricate process. It certainly wouldn't be a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend it for night time driving. It is best used during the day.

I haven't found that to be an issue. The night setting works well for that.

the fellow who used it at the hardware store told me to leave it on for at least a day. I did. It then hardened and created a nightmare of work with a required call to professionals to remove the railing and to strip with chemicals.unless the product is a table and can be rotated, removed outside to be rinsed etc.... find am alternative.

You must have a low clearance garage. The J bars fold down and only add a few inches of height in the collapsed position. But if you don't have a few extra inches, they remove with two hand-tighten nuts each. So it would take 15 minutes to take them on & off, but not something you'd want to to every weekend. We leave ours on all the time, just flipped down. Except for one trip to the lumber store when we loaded them up with a bunch of 2 x 4s. :-)

Yes and no. There is a switch to turn them on, but they won't come on in the day time, only at night. But you can turn them off so they don't come on at night.

Hello Shannon, Lamps are adjustable in terms of the direction (you can rotate them) but you cannot move them up or down the rails.

This certainly depends on the individual's preference. I remove the rack if I am not going to be using it for the day. I assume if I was camping and leaving the car next to the camping spot, I would not remove the rack.

You can attach it 24/7, but when there is no sun, the system is consuming from the grid (just few miliamps). I'm using a heavy duty timer to turn my 4 units off during night time...

The bottom part can be taken off...they are then a somewhat loose fit for the 4x4, but there are holes in the plastic to drill into the side of the post. I've installed two of my four, and with sun for only 2 hours the first day they glowed for hours that first night. Very elegant.

You can use it at night, but it is just a screen, you have to supply your own speakers and projector.
