Let's go ahead and take a closer look, show of some of the features. Now how this bike actually attaches to the rack, you're going to have 3 points of contact with the bikes frame. You're going to have these two straps up here and the one off to the side, which is going to serve as an anti-sway strap to keep it from moving back and forth, possibly hitting the bike rack or the bike in front of it. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Sonic we'll be taking a look the Yakima FullBack Trunk Mount 2 Bike Rack, that part number is Y02634. Now we already have one of our bikes installed on here, we're going to go over some features, show you have we secure our bike down, and take a few measurements.To start off how our bike is secured down we're going to have 3 straps all together, these are also known as ZipStrips, we'll have two on the frame here and one is our anti-sway in the back, which is going to help prevent our bike from swinging too far back and forth and possibly making contact with the other bikes. To release those we're going to pinch the two tabs on the sides and we'll just pull straight out. Then we can take our bike off and set it off to the side.One great thing about our cradles here is that they do have a rubber coating, they're gonna be cushioned to prevent any scratches or abrasions, they'll also allow for your brake lines to sit without causing any damage there. I do suggest you replace your ZipStrips so they don't get lost of damaged. Another great think about this rack is that we do have a bike lock on the end of the rack so you can secure that last bike and prevent both bikes from being taken off.Now we'll take a few measurements here.
