The two cross members are adjustable- but I can't see a locking mechanism. How do I move them? (Afraid of yanking on them in case I break something!) Thanks, Paul.   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Senior Member Username: Johnc Post Number: 625 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 10:13 pm:    On the Discos the locking mechanism is located on the bottom of the cross bar. Hope this helps.   Alan Bates (Alanb) Senior Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 492 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 10:26 pm:    If memory serves me, on each end of the cross-bars there is a plastic cover that slides and reveals a locking bolt. Loosen the bolts on each end and the cross-member should be able to move with a little persuasion.   Paul Kennington (P_kennington) Member Username: P_kennington Post Number: 83 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 05:10 pm:    Thanks Alan- I found that. I ended up paying $20 for a set of 100 'security' drivers- including the 4mm safety hex I needed. There are some I had never seen in there- handy if I ever get locked up. Anyhow, thanks for the help- all is fixed! Cheers, Paul.
