Fit for Avalon Hybrid Womens Bike and Hollywood Racks Express 3-Bike Carrier with a Frame Adapter

Question:

RE: Hollywood racks express 3 carrier I am purchasing an Avalon 26inch hybrid womens bicycle. Will I need an extra part for this trunk rack so it will be level when placed on my 2013 Jetta?

The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is an excellent choice for your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta and Avalon 26 inch hybrid women's bike because the dual-arm rack decreases the need for a bike frame adapter bar. However, for an optimal fit I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter # HRBA-PRO for alternative bike frames such as yours. This will ensure that your bike will remain level during transport. Your particular bike frame has a narrow opening between the top and lower frame bars close to the front of the bike, which is another reason why I suggest that you use a bike frame adapter bar with your carrier.

Please reference the attached demonstration videos for more details.
