Today, on our 2013 Dodge Dart, we'll be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Baja trunk-mounted two bike carrier, part number HRB2. Now, to begin our test-fit, we'll simply place the carrier onto the vehicle's trunk. When you place the carrier onto the vehicle's trunk, you will need to position the carrier so the cradle arms will be parallel to the ground or slightly angled up.Luckily, when we set our carrier onto the vehicle, the carrier was already adjusted. We'll now put the top straps to the top part of the trunk, the side straps to the side part of the trunk, and the bottom straps to the bottom part of the trunk. Note there is no specific order in which the straps need to be attached to the vehicle.You may need to open up your trunk to get the side hooks into position. We'll then tighten on the straps to secure the Hollywood Racks Baja to our Dodge Dart. more
