Is the rack in the middle position supposed to be a very tight fit? In the bottom position slides easily but in the top it takes a lot of force.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

Yes, we also found that the shelf in the middle position was very tight.- Michael D. Fiorello

The wire rack slides easily into the middle position. The solid tray on the bottom does not.

The sliding "arms" of this make it best when fully extended, in my opinion. My home does not have the reveal, but I think that any dish rack would have difficulty in resting on 1/2"

my rack is sitting on a concrete floor and it does move a little bit when you got heavy weight to rack.Putting some weight on the rods at the rear of the unit will take care of that.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

I just assembled mine and rather than trying to slide it together I laid the top on the lower section, put the side away from me in the groove and pushed down on the near side. I snapped into place fairly easily. Best of luck with it.

This is not a problem. I have several hundred pounds per shelf. The sleeve system, used to install the racks locks the shelf in place. The more pressure put on it, the tighter it holds.

It works best for me inside the rack, with the handles on the inside of the rails on the sides. I had the same reservations, but it works pretty well.

Depending on how much space is between the bars, you can sometimes slide it right on like normal. We have also put the bike so the bar sits on top I'd this. When doing that the back tire sticks up in the air while the front tire is nose down. Carrying more than one girls bike we alternate directions of the bikes so they fit better. Seems more secure when we have at least 1mens bike in the rack, not all women's, but even then, we have been able to stabilize with a bungee cord.

The problem is that if you put it on the bottom it takes up room, if you put it on the top it tends to fall off; good luck.

On the bottom of your shelf there are brackets with slots to slide the shelf into. You will not need to uninstall the rack and it doesn't slip over. It would be inserted into the groves at the base. The other customers may have a slightly different rack system but for the one pictured you can see where the rack would slide in without need for uninstalling or disassembling.

You can adjust the top so it is not as tight. Losen the screws and it will slide up.

I actually hadn't even noticed until I got your message and checked. The fit is a little loose but that does not appear to harm the functionality. The attachment is very secure--it is not as though the "looseness" is an indication of a poor fit. It may actually be part of the design--you want to be able to easily detach, empty, and reattach the bottom unit. IMHO a "tight" fit would more likely jam if there were any foreign articles or dirt in the way.

My bike rack does not wobble however we had trouble getting the bolt all the way in too so it is in as far as we could get it

I'm sry you're having a problem but I don't think I can help you for I didn't have an issue. My lids of allsizes/shapes fit well. Perhaps your lids are thicker than most? Maybe you can manipulate the rack but if you do that, you may void your return if you need to do that. Again, sry I couldn't be of more help.

The rack is very secure. Not necessary to re-tighten it. For me it works great

I think you have to exend yours out to make it tighter. I made mine pretty taut. First, unscrew it so that it'sabout 4-6' wider than the space, then compress it so that it fits in snugly.

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.
