Expert Reply:
The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, does not require the glass hatch hooks like Yakima's older bike rack models. Instead, the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode.
To install the top straps in anchor mode, you will want to run the strap through the slot in the hook and then install the strap into the bike rack. This process is outlined in the included instructions on page 4. Please note, the headliner can become deformed or damaged under prolonged contact with hooks in anchor mode. I recommend removing the bike rack after your trip.
This bike rack is also available in a 3-bike version as part # Y02633.
