Yakima StickUp 2 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2014 Chevrolet Sonic- Video
Today, on our 2014 Chevy Sonic, we'll be test fitting the Yakima Stickup Platform Style 2-Bike rack, part Y02420.

The closest part of the bike rack to the closest part of the vehicle is about 2 inches away, and we've added about 11-1/2 inches to the overall length of our Sonic.
