With the lugs in good condition, they work very well indeed, quick latch and unlatch.

I fixed the four turnbuckles at the front first with the undertray resting on an shallow cardboard box, then I raised is a little bit more by putting a towel under the box then fitting the other six fasteners using a stubby screwdriver working from front to back. I could just reach each one by lying on a rug & reaching under the car Mike

As I'm sure you've discovered Harry, the best access to the two rearmost studs is from the sides. When they're secured on the undertray by the nylon washer it's simplicity itself to turn them through 180˚. As Pumpwater says, the trick is to fit the four front studs first. Simon

A simple way to attach the undertray on your own and on your back is to use a small trolly jack or similar with a square of wood on it place the undertray on to the jack and push under the car, Raise the undertray with the jack into position and fit the front first and work backwards. Simples.
