I checked with Yakima and the Joe measurement needed to mount the KingJoe Pro trunk mount bike rack Y02625 on your 2012 Nissan Cube is 20 inches. The Joe measurement is the distance needed between the rivets on the upper and lower rack arms, just above the feet.

Place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.

Outer/Lower support frame rests on the trunk lip, hatch lid, or rear door below emblem.

Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.

Side strap hooks to back side edge of trunk, hatch, or rear door above tail lights.
