OK i'll answer the second question first - If the bungies are not holding the boards in then the boards will fall out, this is what the bungees are for. they hold the boards in very securely from my experience... and at the end of the day i think they were put there as they were needed to do a job ;) OK first question, its not the quick release thats your problem. the racks have a leveling function which allows them to be mounted at any angle... you simply need to tighten it up and your racks will be fine. To do this: On the mount of the rack (the bit wrapping round the tower leg) there are 4 bolts, 2 holding the mount on the tower and two next to each other by the quick release knob... tighten these 2 as tight as you can. Job done. Hope this helps.
