Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
I like the versatility of this product. It works on our 2013 Town & Country and 2017 Nissan Altima. Just have 1 issue, the rubber tie straps are too difficult. I even have an occasional tough time depending onvthe angle. It is important to make sure to put the heaviest bike closest to the vehicle! We left for vacation and didn't want to take an expensive bike, so we purchased a bike on our way. Not wanting to waste any time, i put it on the outside. within 2 hrs I noticed something didn't seem right. The bracket looked like it broke and the new bike was just inches off the expressway!!!! I was not in a good part of town so i used bungees to secure it. Did it correctly on the way home and it did fine. The hole is a little wore out that it clicks in to place! Over all very good deal!
The side / bottom straps are seriously lacking. It has those straps you would find on a backpack, making it difficult to securely tighten down because of the angle. I'd usually have to pre-tighten them to a certain length, then forcefully shove the whole rack until it clipped onto my car. They really just need to be ratchet straps. Even then, one of the side straps came off while driving after hitting a small pothole and the whole thing dangled to one side - Luckily I was in a parking lot. I've also never been able to fit 3 regular bikes, only 2. It's really only a capacity of 3 if you have 2-3 slim bikes. The rubber is so wide that it makes it nearly impossible to slide certain bikes on. If you have a step thru bike with one of those crossbar adapters, I wouldn't even bother with trying this. Unfortunately I don't use this anymore since I'd be constantly worrying the whole thing will come off whenever I drive.

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
This rack solved the problem of transporting my bike without having to have a trailer hitch installed in my car!. Once I figured out how to mount it in my SUV it will be easy to take on and off! Dry happy with the instructions and the flexible use!
Loving my bike rack it looks really stylish on my SQ5. It’s super easy to install, I don’t even need any help, so win win. It’s also sturdy, I have travelled multiple times from ATL to FL without any issues. The only problem is the bottom bar has a hard plastic, which rubs at the bottom of my hatch below the plate. I fixed this by cutting a pool noodle to protect my car by adding it to the bottom over the hard plastic. And added rubber stoppers under the top straps to stop shafting on the trunk spoiler. All and all good buy!
