Does a bike fit in the hatch?

[YAR1S]

I find the Bell Bike racks a bit cleaner.... but beware of the pedals hitting your hatch, wrap them in a bit of foam and strap them down so they dont swing around when going on bumps.




although I have blessed myself with a thule roof rack system ..... so yeah I have it easy.

every bike holding device pictured here WILL scratch the hell out of the car

if you go external, go with trailer hitch type racks, unless you A) don't care about scratches or B) spend excess time surgically cleaning and uninstalling and reinstalling the other types to avoid scratches

I definitely care about scratches. I care a lot.

roof racks and back racks always scratch the car always. it is near impossible to keep the micro dirt out
and vibrations will slowly scour the paint or glass. with a hitch and hitch rack, no such issue.
