Ease Of Use For The Replacement Ratcheting Wheel Tray Strap for Saris Bike Racks # SA17158

Question

Question:

I know its subjective, but this type of strap can often be VERY difficult to get the strap into and out of the clip. Im buying these to replace the extremely-hard-to-use similar straps by another bike rack maker. Are these relatively easy to get in and out of the clip?
