MTB Bike rack (not towbar or hitch)

I want to be able to carry my MTB.

2009 3 door manual yaris

A Huge XL 29ėr.

I do not like the idea of the mount resting on the glass as it is a long drive and the bike is a solid downhill unit.

Has anyone got some advice please?

On a prior hatchback I owned in the 80s, I used a similar carrier to haul 2 bikes very long distances. I was never concerned about the glass. What did concern me was the lower contact point resting on the paint. I eventually did end up with minor scuffing in my paint.
