Thule Vertex 4 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2013 Hyundai Accent- Video
Today on our 2013 Honda Accent we'll be test-fitting the Thule Vertex hitch mountain bike carrier part number Th9029. To mount this carrier to our vehicle, we'll insert the shank of the carrier into the receiver tube of the hitch. We'll line up our hitch pinholes, thread in our anti-rattle bolt and tighten it down using a wrench. We want to make sure that we can open the trunk completely and access the cargo area even with the bike rack installed. We'll grab the switch at the top of the bike rack to fold the arms out. We'll undo the rubber straps of the cradles closest to the vehicle and then we'll grab our bike. more
