Hello etrailer I am looking for a good trunk mounted bike rack to use on my 2019 Honda CR-V that has a spoiler. Can you make a recommendation? I do not want a hitch.

My favorite trunk mounted rack to recommend for vehicles like your Honda CR-V that feature a rear spoiler is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 or the 3-Bike model # Y02633. This rack features SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting ZipStrip straps to hold your bike frames at 3 points The rubber and foam pads on the rack will protect the vehicle's finish and its sturdy bomber steel construction ensures a long lifespan.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.

If you plan on carrying any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes you may also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included a video demonstration on this adapter so you can see exactly how it is used and why it might be needed.

Please be aware that your 2019 Honda CR-V has a feature that automatically activates the rear wipers when the vehicle is in reverse during inclement weather. This may cause damage with the rack in place so you will want to be sure to remove the carrier in this situation.

I have 4 bikes. 2019 CRv do not want a hitch because it is a lease. We only go to the cottage for the summer. So bring them up and bring them down.

There aren't any 4-bike trunk racks, so you'll need to put at least one of your bikes on the roof or just inside (if you have a smaller bike that will fit). Since the dealer might not like you installing a full roof rack system either, a really good option is the SeaSucker Talon # 298-BT1004, which will just mount directly to the roof to allow you to secure one bike. If you typically lease it's a really good solution too since you can transfer it to any other vehicle as well. Then for the other 3 bikes the Hollywood Racks # HRF2-3 mentioned above will work perfectly.
