Would Hollywood Racks Trail HR200 Allow Rear Hatch on 2016 Kia Soul to Open
Question:
I am interested in the HR200 because it has better ground clearance with the 5inch riser. However, I am concerned that it will prevent the hatchback from opening on my Kia Soul even when the center bar is folded down. Can you confirm whether or not the hatchback can be opened?

Expert Reply:
I looked up picture of the rear of your 2016 Kia Soul and the hatch sits a decent distance higher than the hitch opening so the Hollywood Racks Bike Rack # HR200Z would pretty easily allow the hatch to open with the mast folded down. The rack has a 5 inch rise in the shank.
