My first cargo carrier folded up like that. It rattled so much in the up position as it did in the down position I couldn't stand it.
I had it cut and welded to be a permanent down cargo carrier.
I would 'strongly suggest' you pick up some dot approved reflector tape for the sides AND front of the carrier.
It keeps the cops at bay and helps little ole ladies from walking into it at parking lots and cars sideswiping it. Been there done that in all of the above. :W
You can find the dot approved strips readily at farm supply stores or horse trailer websites. I found they do make a difference especially at night for making it visible to others. Can't tell you how many people at the CG ran into it before I put the tape on!

Yeah thats why I added the two reflectors, but your right maybe get the tape anyways & go around the side & such.
I can't find the Amber tape anywhere locally but have found it on line.
Being I have it up front I want amber NOT red.
