Expert Reply:
I would not recommend you do any trimming on a leased car. I do not know what your lease agreement consists of, but they may not appreciate it.
What I recommend you do is use a trunk mounted bike rack for carrying your bikes on your 2011 Honda Accord. I attached an FAQ article on trunk mounted bike racks for you to check out also.
For a trunk mounted bike rack I recommend you get a Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV this is one of the best trunk mounted bike racks around because of how easy it is to install, how light it is, and how well it secures bikes to the rack. I attached a review video and installation instructions for this rack for you to check out also.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes I would recommend you get a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product also.
