Expert Answers about Trunk Bike Racks

• What Trunk Bike Rack Do You Recommend For My 2021 Toyota Highlander
• The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634, would be my trunk bike rack of choice. My first reason is that this is a two bike trunk rack. I am never a proponent of carrying more than two bikes on a trunk bike rack, I have always felt three bikes on a trunk bike rack is too much. In addition, the FullBack can lock the bikes to the rack and lock the rack to your vehicle. It also comes with a specific fit via the interlocking hub. I have included a product...

• Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
• There are better options available for carrying bikes on your 2011 Camaro. Trunk mount bike racks have been around for a while and are a good, inexpensive option to carry bikes, but like you, many people are weary of using a trunk mount rack because the weight of the bike rack and the bikes is sitting on the trunk and bumper. Bike rack manufacturers test these bike racks and as long as the weight capacity of the bike rack is not exceeded and the bike rack is installed properly, you should...

• Bike Rack Recommendations for Trunk Access on a 2004 Honda Accord Coupe
• There are many bike rack options that allow you to access your trunk without removing the rack from your vehicle, but these rack options are hitch-mounted. Unfortunately, trunk mounted racks are designed to be removed prior to opening your trunk. If you open the rear hatch of your vehicle with a trunk mounted rack attached, you risk damaging your vehicle. If you're looking for a trunk mounted bike rack and need to remove/install the rack frequently for trunk access, I would recommend...

• Recommended Bike Rack for Step-Thru Electric Bike on 2013 Chevy Volt
• None of the trunk-mounted bike racks that fit your 2013 Chevy Volt will allow you to open the trunk with the rack on. Each would also require you to use an adapter bar - which attaches to the rack - for a bike with a step-thru frame. Additionally, trunk-mounted racks are not a good option for electric bikes because they do not have the weight capacity necessary to support an electric bike. That said, there is a way for you to avoid using an adapter bar and have access to your Volt's trunk,...

• Will The Thule OutWay Fit My 2016 Honda CR-V, If Not What Do You Recommend
• I do have a trunk bike rack solution for your 2015 Honda CR-V. Unfortunately, it will not be the Thule OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Trays, part # TH65JV. I checked Thule's website, they do not have any trunk mounted bike racks that are compatible with your vehicle. My trunk bike rack recommendation will be a traditional trunk bike rack. It is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634. It comes with a cable and lock to secure...

• Will Using a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Damage the Automatic Trunk Release on a 2012 BMW 5 Series
• The Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT, will fit the 2012 BMW 5 series. However, on any vehicle you should not attempt to open the trunk with the bike rack attached because it is not rated for the extra weight and it can also cause the trunk to fall on you. It also affects how the rack attaches to the vehicle. Provided that you do not attempt to open the trunk with the rack attached it should not have any effect on the trunk release. I have included a link to the installation instructions. If...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2018 Ford Escape
• No, the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT is not going to install correctly on your 2018 Ford Escape. The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT is not a fit for the 2018 Ford Escape. You would want to use the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL. You would then use the Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks # SA3035 which will replace the lower hooks or place the lower hooks inside the trunk (details are in the attached instruction manual).

• Can the Trunk be Opened with the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Installed
• Trunk mount bike racks should be removed when not in use. If you leave them on all the time they can leave marks on the vehicle in some cases. You will not want to open the trunk with the bike rack installed. Doing so could wedge the hooks against the body of the vehicle or trunk lid and damage them. The hinges or struts for the trunk are not designed for added weight and also because of the extra weight the trunk could fall on you if the rack was still attached. The Thule OutWay # TH45JV...

• Can you Open the Trunk when the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier is Installed on a Mazda CX-5
• If you need truck access often, I have a solution for you, but bike rack manufacturers do not recommend opening the rear hatch or trunk with a bike rack installed. The door hinges are not designed to hold the extra weight and the rear door could come down on whoever is underneath. There is also a chance that the bike rack could fall off and scratch the paint. If you need to access the trunk often, I suggest a hitch mounted bike rack which can fold down, giving you access to open the trunk....

• Will Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3 Securely Hold Three Childrens Bikes on a 2006 Hyundai Sonata
• The Hollywood Racks Express 3-Bike Carrier, part # HRE3 is a great option for your 2006 Hyundai Sonata as long as it does not have a rear spoiler, which may prevent you from successfully installing and aligning the trunk mount. If your model does have a rear spoiler and you would like to stick with the Hollywood Racks brand, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Carrier, part # HRF2-3 which is engineered to specifically accommodate most spoilers. When working with children's...

• Can I Open Trunk On 2016 Subaru Impreza With Trunk Mount Bike Rack
• The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier part # TH910XT uses the hatch of the 2016 Subaru Impreza Sedan to attach to the vehicle so you would not be able to open the hatch with the bike rack on the vehicle. Once you open the trunk the metal hooks are not going to have a solid surface to grip on and it could lead to the bike rack falling off and the extra weight from the bike rack could also damage the trunk's lid if you open it. If rear cargo access is important to you while you are out and about,...
