• King Joe or Quick Back Trunk Mount to Fit a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT or a Hitch and Bike Rack That Works
• The spoiler on the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT is going to be the limiting factor for installing the KingJoe or QuickBack bike racks on your vehicle. If it is the same spoiler that is installed on the standard Pontiac Vibe then either one of these bike racks will work, and will be adequate for normal freeway driving. You will need to check to be sure the spoiler is not configured differently on your vehicle. Your second suggestion is the one I would choose. A hitch and hitch mounted bike rack are av

• Will the Yakima FlipSide Bike Rack Fit on a Hummer H3 with Rear Mounted Spare Tire
• The Yakima FlipSide 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Rotating Rack with Frame Mount Cradles, item # Y02426, measures 12 inches from center of hitch pin hole to back of the upright bar. If the farthest out part of your Hummer spare tire is 10 inches, from the center of the hitch pin hole, then the FlipSide will work great for you. If you will be carrying women or alternative style framed bikes you may need the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, item # Y02531, along with the bike rack.

• According to Yakima, the item you selected, Yakima QuickBack 2 Bike Trunk Rack # Y02621, will fit your 2010 Mazda 3, 5-door. The 3 bike version of this rack, QuickBack 3 Bike Trunk Rack # Y02622, will also fit your vehicle.

• Will the Yakima QuickBack 2 Scratch my Bike Frame and Will it Fit a Ford Escort ZX2
• The Yakima QuickBack bike racks have plastic shielding on the arms, soft pads at each of the cradles, and soft rubber straps to secure the bikes in the cradles. As long as you keep the cradle and strap free of debris, you should not have any scratching problems. There are no metal surfaces that the bike would come in contact with if loaded properly. It should fit your Escort ZX2 with the factory spoiler. In order to know for sure, I would need the year. If you write back with the year, I will

• Trunk and Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendations fora 2004 Nissan Maxima
• You can determine the material of the hood, possibly, if a magnet will stick to it. That would indicate it is some sort of steel or other metal to which a magnet would stick. The Thule and Yakima fit guides do not have any installation notes on a 2004 Nissan Maxima with a fiberglass or composite trunk lid so if they are out there, they are not excluded. If you determine that you want to go ahead with a trunk mount rack, keep in mind that most of the weight will actually be on the top tier of

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Chrysler PT Crusier
• The KingJoe Pro 3, # Y02625, is listed as a fit for your 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. In order to install the bike rack, you will need to use the glass hook adapters which are included with the rack. However, when using this rack with the glass hatch adapter, you will be limited to carrying just 2 bikes. Unless you had another vehicle that is compatible and could hold 3 bikes, I would just go with the 2 bike model, # Y02624. Another option is to use a Thule rack if you want to carry 3 bikes. I r

Since your 2007 Toyota Sequoia has factory cross bars it will mount right to them.

• Will the Yakima HoldUp Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Kia Soul
• Even if you added the Yakima Replacement Spine Assembly, # Y80126, to your Yakima HoldUp bike rack, # Y02433, you will not be able to use it with a Kia Soul.

What you will need for the Soul is a different platform bike rack. The most popular option is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. This bike rack holds the bikes at the wheels and

• Assistance for Loading Kayaks on a 2011 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Roof Rack and Yakima BigStack
• The Yakima BigStack, # Y04041, will fit the 2011 Toyota 4Runner with factory installed crossbars. To help you load the kayaks, you can use the Water Slide non-skid mat, # TH854. Also, something like a tire step, # HE4040, would make it easier to reach the roof of the vehicle. I also recommend adding the Vehicle Anchor Strap Kit, # Y04046, so you have easy access to a tie down point on the vehicle for the bow/stern straps.
