What Trunk Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2019 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Question:
Need a trunk bike rack for a 2019 Civic Si, Sedan, with spoiler. Yakima FullBack or Saris Bones EX? I am thinking that one or both of those should fit. Thanks!

If you are trying to decide between the Yakima Fullback # Y02634 (2-bike version) / # Y02633 (3-bike version) and the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR (2-bike version) / # SA803 (3-bike version), the Saris Bones EX models will unfortunately not fit your 2019 Honda Civic SI Sedan. With that limitation, that leaves the Yakima Fullback models (which I confirmed as a fit with Yakima).
The Fullback is a great option because it comes with a locking cable (unlike the Bones EX). This locking cable provides extra protection of your bikes when mounted on the rack. The Fullback also comes with an interlocking HUB that provides a customized tightness setting. For your 2019 Honda Civic, Yakima recommends a HUB setting of 1.
If you are planning on using step-thru frames, women's-style frames, or children's bikes, you will need the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO for each bike with those frame styles. The adapter bar will give your bike a straight, horizontal plane that is required to allow your bikes to attach to the arms.
