The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 is a confirmed fit from the manufacturer for your 2018 Volvo XC60. This means they physically tested it on your year/make/model of vehicle. Unfortunately we don't have a video of this rack on your vehicle, but we do have a tech note that the weight limit for 2 bikes on your vehicle is 60 lbs and both the upper and lower hooks on the straps must be in stalled in anchor mode on your vehicle. I've attached a photo from the attached instructions to assist. The hooks are designed to not cause any issues with paint, but the anchor mode actually further mitigates that possibility. You will just want to note that prolonged use can deform your interior headliner in those anchor locations.
This is the most popular trunk mounted rack for your vehicle and we have had very positive reviews. I recommend also using the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Down for Bike Racks # SR54FR to secure your front wheel to the frame so you don't have bike contact or vehicle contact as you travel. Finally, if you have any step-thru style bike frames, I recommend using the Swagman adapter bar # 64005 or Yakima Tube Top # Y02531 to create that top frame rail between the seat and handlebars for level towing.
