The Porsche instruction were useless for my wall mount. And I have no experience with the rack you have.

It looks like you should just unbolt the I-shaped part (wider horizontal up) of the rack from the roller.

The wide member (that the rear of the top fits into) is bolted to the wall using rubber lined radiator-type clamps with a lag screw that goes into the wall.

Make very sure you hit studs with both lag screws.

No idea what the short pole is for cuz my rack only has the two horizontals joined by the vertical.

Clear as mud?
