Yakima FullBack Installation on 2021 Toyota Prius

Question

Question:

Do you have any photos of this mounted on a 2021 Toyota Prius AWD ? I am concerned about the attachement of the stap clip on the glass trunk lid. I see it mounted to other cars, but they have a metal trunk lid. I have attached photos. Thanks for your help

I do have a photo to show you of the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 on a 2021 Toyota Prius - this is a photo Yakima took when they did the test fit. The upper arms do sit on the rear windshield but that isn't uncommon for trunk mount rack applications.

When you install the FullBack you want the base pad to be 5/8" above the bumper and you want to switch the hub setting to 4. You'll need to install both the upper and lower hooks in anchor mode which I go over in the video I'm linking of the installation I did on a 2020 Audi Q7.

Hey Antone, you are right the battery placement on the 2022 Honda CR-V is the reason the hitches do not fit so a trunk mounted bike rack solution would be your best bet. The one I recommend for your CR-V is the Saris Bones 2 part #SA805BL that you…

While both fit your 2020 Toyota Prius, the biggest differences between the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack #SA805BL and Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack #SAR83FR is the latter has an added top anchor leg for more stable mounting, as well as strap management so you…

For your 2024 Toyota Corolla I recommend the Yakima Fullback 2 #Y02634. The adjustable arms will allow a secure fit to the back of your car. The rubber and foam pads will help to protect the paint from scratching/scuffing. The rack itself has a 35 lb…
