Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda CR-V
Question:
i saw the response to a similar question concerning a trunk mounted bike rack for a 2013 Honda CRV. However, the answer talked about the rack working with a vehicle that had a spoiler. My CRV does not have a spoiler. Would I use the HRF2 rack? thank you,

Expert Reply:
For a trunk mounted bike rack confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Honda CR-V the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 that you mentioned would be a fit that would work well. It's specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers, but it still would fit your vehicle.
Since you don't have a spoiler though the Saris Bones # SA805BL might be more appealing as it will be a bit easier to install, costs less, and is just simpler rack in general. It's still a fantastic trunk rack though so it will be a great option for you.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
