Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for 2008 Audi A4 Cabriolet-Convertible
Question:
Hello, I was just looking at the Saris Sentinel part # SA1051 for 2008 Audi A4 Cabriolet 3.2 L However when I search your site you no longer seem to carry that particular rack model. Is there another model that would fit my car ? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The bike rack you were looking at is inactive and no longer available, but luckily there are some other trunk bike racks that fit your 2008 Audi A4 convertible. I recommend looking at the Saris Guardian 2 Bike Rack # SAR93FR which can also be found in a 3-bike version # SAR43FR. Saris does state that you should use Hatch Huggers # SA3035 on your vehicle to replace the lower hooks that come with the Saris Guardian bike racks; this way you will not risk damaging the bottom of your trunk with metal hooks.
I also recommend adding 8' Cable Lock and lock Loop # SAR52FR to lock your bikes to your trunk and deter theft, and you may need an adapter bar such as # 64005 if you plan on transporting women's, children's, step-thru, or any other oddly shaped bike.
