Yakima DoubleDown Ace 2 Bike Rack Review - 2005 Volkswagen Jetta

Today on our 2005 Volkswagen Jetta well be test fitting the Yakima Doubledown Ace 2-Bike Carrier, part number y02450. To begin our test fit, well slide the shank of the carrier into the opening of the hitch, line up our pin holes, insert our pin with the red knob into the pin holes, and turn the black knob at the back of the shank to engage the anti-rattle device. Now that our bike carrier is secured to our Jetta, well go over a few clearance measurements to see how the two fit together. We have about 14 inches of ground clearance. The closest part of the carrier to the closest part of our Jetta is here at the rear bumper about 4 inches away, and weve added about 9 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. Well now pull the red lever at the top of the mast to swing the cradle arms out, and with the cradle arms out weve added about 22 inches to the overall length of the vehicle. more
