Best 2009 Dodge Caliber Trunk Bike Racks

I’ve had the Thule bike rack for about three weeks now and have the following comments: 1. Order and delivery from etrailer was extremely great as I received the item within a few days of ordering. 2. Assembly of the bike rack was very easy and took a very short period of time. The instructions provided with the item were easy to follow. The online video on assembling and mounting the rack is also very good should you want to also follow that to ensure you did everything correctly. 3. The bike rack was mounted on a 2010 Subaru Forester and fit very well. It is secure and you can easily open and close the hatchback with the bike rack installed without the rack becoming loose. I’ve had the rack mounted the whole time and have had no issues with it becoming loose. 4. With a bike mounted on the rack, the bike is held very secure by the three straps and does not move around too much with the key being to secure the front tire to the bike frame using the enclosed strap. I’ve only traveled on city streets with bumps and turns so far with the bike mounted, but don’t anticipate any issues with high speed travel on the interstate due to the solid build of the rack and the way it secures a bike in place. Overall I am very satisfied with the product and would recommend it to others.

The rack is used for police bike patrol and overall is satisfactory for this duty. My only issues are the straps that hold the rack to the vehicle have a tendency to loosen up during cornering and need to be tightened at least twice during a shift. Also where the bars that hold the bike attach to the rack itself seem a bit "fragile". I'm sure this is because they can be turned down to lessen space when a bike is not on it. I understand we use this item a little more roughly than your usual customer and at times need to drive a little more aggressively. On a positive note, I am able to quickly attach and detach the bike and haven't had it fall off over the past year. I hope this helps. I am pleased with the rack overall.

Great product. Easy to install and use. Very sturdy and holds bikes while staying in place. We like to bike on different trails and this makes transporting our bikes very manageable. We are very pleased.

I had no trouble installing the bike rack; I give it such a poor rating because it did not perform its essential task: remaining in position to keep the bicycles in place. Specifically, the bike arm did not lock into the carrier sufficiently for a road trip. That is, on one of the arms, the button did not remain engaged in the hub to keep the bike arm stationary (picture of faulty hub with "engaged" button). I think this was a function of the hub and not the button because after a the bicycle first dragged on the highway, we removed all the bikes and switched the bike arms. Nevertheless, the same hub did not keep the button engaged and the arm gradually slipped toward the ground (we relied on rope and bungee cords to complete the trip). Two other complaints (1) women's bikes are not so "unconventional"; the need for an adapter should be more prominently advertised, and (2) getting the third bicycle on the rack is next to impossible--there should be a video showing how this can be achieved.

The item was shipped within minutes after the order was placed online. (Thanks etrailer.) When the bike carrier arrived and I took it out of the box, admittedly I was a little intimidated by all the straps, etc. But after looking it over and reading the instructions, it was a snap to assemble, mostly because of the large and clear-to-understand images. The Saris Bones 2 bike rack with optional hatch hugger straps fits my 2016 Honda CR-V snugly and exactly as advertised. I'm very satisfied and ready to ride.

This has turned out to be a superb product. After pulling it out of the box, I was a little concerned about how long it would take to attach to my CRV. Turns out, it didn't take long at all. I have a 2015 Honda CRV, with a spoiler, and I was able to attach it and not have a problem. I have to lift the tailgate to attach the lower clips, but it connects just fine. I'll give it a test on the road this weekend with a 3 hour drive, but I'm pretty confident it'll do the job. Very pleased with the purchase.

I think it's very well-conceived and executed. My daughter has preternatural cleverness with these sorts of things, sort of like a character in *Dune*, and she helped me install it (she's 9). Since then, success!

I have a 2010 Ford Focus SES with a small spoiler on the back and I was having trouble finding a rack that would fit MULTIPLE bikes that could fit my car without crushing my poor spoiler. This one did the trick! It also fit my boyfriend's car easily, and seems like it would fit a whole variety of cars. This rack is super adjustable and easily fits 3 bikes. I've had it for a year now and have loved using it. Big thanks to etrailer.com for making it so easy to find this!

Just installed on my 2016 Honda Accord Sport with no problems. The design is ingenious -- no flapping straps, only 4 attachments to trunk, and with locking features. Regarding latter, however, I suspect that the locking covers are either plastic or very lightweight metal and could easily be pried off, exposing the cable releases. So, I would not leave rack and bikes on car in places I was concerned about theft.

I love my Thule Raceway PRO trunk bike rack. It's an intelligently designed rack that fits my car well and holds my bike rock solid. Not too heavy and easy to put on and take off, it's really a great product.
