Will the Over-The-Top Hollywood Racks Bike Rack Fit on my 2014 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Will this work on my 2014 odyssey? Can you open the hatch to access trunk with rack attached?

The Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 is confirmed to fit on your 2014 Honda Odyssey by Hollywood Racks. The upper frame extends over your spoiler so it will not damage it.
I do not recommend opening your rear hatch while a trunk mounted bike rack is attached to your vehicle. If you did try to open your trunk, the struts that hold up the door are not rated for much more than the weight of the door, so the extra weight could cause the lift gate to unexpectedly close.
If you are wanting easy access to your trunk with a bike rack installed on your vehicle, I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75270 and using the SportRack Pathway hitch mounted bike rack # SR2703. This Draw-Tite Hitch is confirmed to fit on your 2014 Honda Odyssey and the SportRack bike rack tilts down for access to the trunk once the bikes are removed.
If you are carrying any women's children's or alternative framed bikes without the top horizontal cross tube, you may want to consider a bike adapter bar similar to # 64005 to make loading bikes easier.
I have attached a review video of the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike Rack and a demonstration video of the bike adapter bar you may find helpful. I also attached an installation video for the Draw-Tite Hitch on a 2014 Honda Odyssey along with a review video of the SportRack Pathway you may want to check out as well.
