Ability to Open Rear Hatch on 2011 Infiniti FX35 With Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 on the Roof

Question

Question:

I have a 2011 Infiniti FX35 with factory crossbars. Do you know if the Yakima Frontloader will clear the rear hatch when open, or will the spoiler on the rear hatch bump up against the Frontloader when the hatch is open? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, # Y02103, measures approximately 53 inches from the front crossbar attachment point to the end of the carrier. I have attached a picture to illustrate this measurement.

With the front crossbar on your 2011 Infiniti FX35 adjusted all the way forward, measure from the front crossbar to the nearest point of the hatch when opened. If this measurement is greater than 53 inches you shouldn't have any problem with opening your hatch while the FrontLoader is mounted on the roof.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22G and the NV 2.0 #NV22G that you referenced are both excellent platform-style racks that will hold your bikes by the front wheels with no frame contact. These are top-of-the-line carriers and you really would not go wrong…
