No. Not hard to do. But time consuming enough for most people not to worry
about them getting stolen off their racks, which says something about the
effort it takes.. For me, personally, it would be too much, too often. I
make material runs very frequently and kayak just as often in the summer
months so it could turn into a nearly daily exercise if I were to be moving
saddles onto and off of my racks.

My main point, (albeit a bit clouded) was that with a little careful initial
set up, foam blocks work great. And you really can't beat the price.
