Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2002 Audi TT Convertible and 2000 to 2014 BMW X5
Question:
Looking for a bike rack that will fit both a BMW X5 and Audi TT Convt. Does the Saris Bones do the job

Expert Reply:
There is only 1 trunk mount bike rack that will fit both a 2002 Audi TT convertible and a 2000 to 2014 BMW X5. It is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2 or # HRF2-3 (for 3 bikes).
The Over-the-Top rack is unique in that it has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up so they are not putting any stress on spoilers or other components on a vehicle that are not designed to support weight. I have linked a video showing how it works.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance.
