Is Installing Malone Roof Rack on 2016 Subaru Forester with Raised Rails Easy

Question

Question:

I have a 2016 Subaru Forester with the moonroof. Id like to be able to remove the rack bars and towers when Im not using it. How easy or hard is that to do once theyre installed? Can you explain exactly? I know its easy with Yakima towers one bolt to deal with and its a static mount so Im looking at the Malone version as a comparison.
