 Be Careful - Will Scratch Your Car! July 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The bike rack worked fine once assembled, but I found it hard not to scratch the back of my car's trunk. When you're trying to adjust the angle of the rack or the straps, something would always inadvertenly bump or crash against my trunk. It's helpful if you have someone hold it in place while you're doing it. Also, I didn't have ties for the slack end of the straps so they were dangling wildly off the back of my car. I ended up using rubberbands to solve that one. Good car rack but I definitely will need to get my paint job fixed.
 Ok for short distances - not good for long trips July 16, 2008

I too did my homework as for reviews comparing this bicycle rack with others offered on Amazon. I chose this one partially because of the reviews plus it was available directly through Amazon and the price was reasonable. I found that this rack was extremely well made and easy to attach to my 1996 Honda Accord. I could also tell that it would be able to fit many cars because of the way it was designed. I also liked this one because of the fact it has two additional hold down straps which attach to the sides of the rear trunk. There is a weak link in this product though. It is the quality of the tightening fasteners on the hold down straps. I loaded up three 26" bikes on the rack, which was a bit of a challenge, but did work well once you get the hang of it. I re-tightened all the straps as instructed in the directions before driving off and felt confident I did a good job. My vacation trip was only 150 miles away and I just happened to stop after about 50 miles to check how the bikes were doing. I found that the straps had loosened up and the rack was not secure. I tightened the straps up again and rechecked in another 50 miles to find the same result. If I hadn't stopped from time to time to check, I wonder what the result would have been. So, because the rack is built so well and is easy enough to use, I gave it three stars rather than less because I feel this rack would work great for short trips. However for longer trips, I definitely would not recommend this rack. It's really a shame they didn't come up with a more efficient strap fastener. I am returning this rack today and will try another brand with a close eye on the type of strap fastener used. Advice to you....no matter what brand you purchase, for long trips be sure to double check how secure your rack is from time to time....Hope this helps.
 Great Bike Rack July 10, 2008

The bike rack came promptly and was everything I hoped it would be. The directions of exactly how to put it on aren't amazing, but it wasn't difficult and it held my bike securely for the entire ride. It's great!
Great rack. No disappointment. June 28, 2008

I am very pleased. My bike and my wife's bike fit great. My son's bike only fits on one side but it is not the rack's fault. His bike is a bike that does not have a support bar that goes straight across. It is slanted. I suspect that I would have a challenge with his bike on any rack. No complaints. I'd recommend this rack. Great rack for the money.
Works Great and is very sturdy June 24, 2008
This bike rack works great and is very sturdy! It is easy to put on my car and easy to remove. I love the loops that hold the bike in place on the rack, though they are a little hard to clip on. Can't get a better bike rack for the price!
