Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
Don't let your spoiler spoil your fun. The Over-the-Top bike rack lets you carry 2 bikes on the back of your vehicle without the fear of the rack's mounting straps or frame damaging your spoiler. And it works great for traditional vehicle trunks too.
High-Rise Frame for Vehicles with Spoilers
Many trunk-mounted bike racks will not fit a vehicle that has a spoiler because the rack's mounting straps will make contact with - and cause damage to - the spoiler. The Over-the-Top is designed to provide adequate clearance to accommodate most spoilers - particularly those found on newer SUVs, minivans, and hatchbacks. The high-rise frame extends up and over the top of your trunk or hatch, and you can attach the top 2 straps at angles that keep them from making contact with your spoiler.
With multiple mounting options, you can attach the straps to your vehicle's hatch, trunk, roof rack crossbars, or raised roof-rack side rails. If your hatchback has a spoiler, then the Over-the-Top is the bike transport solution for you.
Hook Attachment on Naked Roof or Standard Trunk
If your vehicle has a naked roof, use the standard straps attached to the upper frame of the bike rack. Just secure the rubber-coated metal hooks to your trunk and adjust the tension of the straps with the cam buckles.
To attach the rack to a standard trunk with or without a spoiler, just fold down the high-rise frame and rest it on your trunk lid. Then secure the rack with the standard hook attachments.
D-Ring Strap Attachment for Roof Rack or Side Rails
If your vehicle's roof has crossbars or raised side rails, use the included D-ring straps to attach the Over-the-Top to the roof.
First, position the included canvas pads between the D-ring straps and the rails or crossbars on your roof, and then wrap the straps around the bars.
Then replace the standard straps on the upper frame of the bike rack with the included quick-connect straps.
Connect the D-rings on the roof rack straps to the hooks on the quick-connect straps, and then adjust the tension of the straps.
Fold the built-in canvas pads around the straps and hooks to protect your roof from scratches and scuffs.
Hatch Anchor Attachment
If your vehicle doesn't have a place to anchor the top 2 straps, use the included hatch anchors. With the trunk open, thread the hatch anchors through the gap between the trunk and your vehicle's roof, placing the anchors inside your vehicle and the D-rings on the roof. Then close the hatch.
Next, replace the standard straps on the upper frame of the bike rack with the included quick-connect straps. Then connect the D-rings on the hatch anchors to the hooks on the quick-connect straps. Built-in canvas pads keep the hooks and D-rings from scratching your vehicle's roof. Cam buckles let you adjust the tension of the straps.
Adjustment Hubs and Base Strap Attachment System
To fit the rack to your vehicle, use 4 of the interlocking hubs with quick-release levers. Two of these hubs let you quickly adjust the position of the base to ensure that the rack is seated properly on your bumper, trunk, or hatch. The other 2 hubs let you adjust the angle of the high-rise fame.
Four sturdy vinyl straps with rubber-coated metal hooks let you mount the rack to your vehicle. Just loosely position the straps around the base of your trunk or hatch door. Flip the levers up to open the adjustment hubs and rotate the rack's base to the desired position. Then line up the teeth on each hub, push the levers down, and rotate the levers until the hubs are snug. Repeat this process to adjust the rack's high-rise frame, making sure that there is plenty of clearance between your spoiler and the rack.
Once the bike frame is adjusted as needed, you can tighten down the straps. Tensioners on the rack's bottom 2 straps ensure a snug fit at the base. Four foam pads on the rack's base and two on the upper frame help protect your car's finish from scratches and abrasions.
Adjustable Dual Arms
This dual-arm rack supports your bikes better than a single-arm rack, and with this style of rack, it's less likely that you'll need an adapter bar to carry women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes. However, an adapter bar (HRBA-PRO - sold separately) may still be required for some bikes. The adjustment hubs on the arms have quick-release levers so that you can move the arms up or down - independent of the base and each other - to ensure that your bikes are level during transport.
Anti-Sway Cradles
Rubber anti-sway cradles with straps firmly grip your bike's frame at 3 points, helping to prevent front-to-back sway. This minimizes bike-to-bike and bike-to-car contact during transit. The cradles rotate and slide along the bike rack arms, so you can easily adjust and space them based on the type and number of bikes you're transporting. And you can use the integrated safety strap to reduce the movement of handlebars and wheels during transport.
Folding Design
The Over-the-Top's arms can be folded down against your vehicle, and when it's not on your car, the rack can be folded flat for compact storage.
A security strap and a cable lock (sold separately) are recommended to deter theft of the rack and your bikes. The strap will secure the rack to your vehicle, and the cable lock will secure your bikes to the rack.

2016 Jeep Cherokee
I am using my F2 on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited that has a spoiler. I am very pleased with how easy it was to install the carrier. It is flexible enough that I can see how it will be adaptable to a wide range of vehicles so it may be the last one I ever have to buy. My initial trips have shown the rack to be sturdy and much easier to load that my previous rack. I also like the anti-sway grips on the vertical seat post. The only suggestion would be some kind of a locking device to lock the rack to the car. I can easily cable the bikes to each other and the rack. 268999

I bought this for occasional use for when we travel as a family in our SUV. I researched ones that go on the roof rack and felt that the risk of hitting something was too high. The hitch-style bike racks are probably superior due to their ergonomics (designed for regular use) but also more expensive and I didn't have a hitch receptacle. This bike rack was the perfect middle ground. Initial set up (getting it to fit the profile of the vehicle) was a little challenging. I wouldn't recommend switching vehicles frequently and having to readjust it constantly. Once it's set however, it doesn't take long to put back on. The rack is quality constructed and holds very securely. 692806

2017 Subaru Forester
I was excited to find a rack that would work with my 2016 Subaru Forester with a spoiler, but after using it was frustrated that I had to modify my wife's bike to make it work. If I was not leaving on vacation and had to use it I would have sent it back. It is a good quality rack and overall I am pleased with it, but you need to engineer it for women's bike too. My man's bike was an easy fit, but my wife's Trek 7100 17.5" frame design did not go on easy. The placement of the water bottle holder did not allow me to attach the bike. I had to take it off and place the water bottle on the upper frame bar. I do not like drilling into my bikes. You may want to figure out what women's frames do not easily work with your rack and warn the buyer that it will need modification. (See pictures) I also noted that you never show any women's bikes in any of your illustrations. So yes, for a man's bike this is a great rack to carry bikes when your vehicle has a spoiler. I'd give it a five start review. If you have a women's bike think again or be prepared to modify your bike. 405106

Thanks for your recent review about your Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top bike rack. I completely understand the struggles of installing a womans bike on this bike rack. There is an adapter bar that is designed for this exact purpose. I see that you were able to install your wifes bike on the bike rack, and kudos for that. We do reverence in a note on the bike rack page that an adapter bar may be needed, and the adapter bar HRBA-PRO is linked as a related item. Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar sold separately to mount a childrens, womens, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small childrens bikes will require a bike adapter bar. I have included a link to this page for your reference and you can see the use of an adapter bar on other styles of bikes too. Thanks for your feedback and have a great day!

2012 Honda CR-V
After much research, we decided to purchase this bike rack. We have a 2012 Honda CRV. The rear hatch has a small spoiler/rear tail light at the top and we were concerned about using a rack that would push against it. This rack didn't do that and based on that feature we purchased the Hollywood rack. The video explaining how to assemble it make it easy to relate to the directions and we had it up and ready in a very short time. We have used it multiple times and absolutely love it! The bikes are securely attached. I did read a review about the concern about what to do with the extra straps...we used plastic zip ties or velcro ties to secure them. Yes, this rack did cost more than the ones in the sporting goods store, but we think it was well worth it. We are very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it. 138241

Hi Linda, we have exactly this same kind of car. Im concerned that this bike rack will interfere with the rear windshield wiper, which apparently can automatically turn on if your front wipers are on and you drive in reverse Ive never tried this, but some people on a CRV owners forum talked about this. Also Im concerned that the weight of the bikes might press against a weak park of the rear hatch door and damage it again, I dont know from experience that this area is weak, but its something that was raised in the owners forum. Do you know anything about this?ThanksStefanie S.

Hi Stefanie S.,We, too, were concerned about the rear wiper while going in reverse. To ensure that we dont have an issue, we will be putting the wipers in the off position whenever the CRV is going in reverse. The weight of the bikes have not caused any issues on the exterior of our vehicle. Hope this helps!

I would like to give the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top2 a 2 thumbs up!! This rack is well made, versatile, and its very secure. I have been using it all summer and even into the fall. Once you install this rack a few times, it becomes a easy process, and that really helps when you are heading out for a bike ride. This is a really good bike rack that is well worth the money !! 912957

Really, this is an EXCELLENT product. I've used it maybe 8 times over 3,000 miles, and it's absolutely rock solid on the car. I have absolutely no worries about my bike coming loose or rubbing at any point (and I'm very picky). The rubber pads and rubberized metal contacts on the rack have not left any marks on the car. The rack is pretty easy to attach to the car (I have a Subaru Crosstrek) and cinches down well. The only things I would point out are 1) once you figure out how to attach the rack to the car, you'll want to trim excess length of the nylon straps (It's a hassle having so much extra, and you won't need it); and 2) you'll need a large twisty tie or similar to anchor the front wheel to the bike frame (otherwise, the front wheel and handle bars are free to rotate while you're driving. Not good.) Bottom line: I would highly recommend this rack. 851239

2013 Ford Focus
Highly recommended! This rack fits great on my 2013 Ford Focus ST. It was very easy to assemble and all of the hooks have a protected cover so they won’t damage your paint. My bike rests very sturdily in the cradle. In the past I would have to take the front tire off the bike so it could fit in the hatch, but that was always such a hassle since I had to disturb the brake cable. Plus it would take up so much room in my car. I recommend disabling your rear wiper. I removed the fuse so that the blade does not accidentally hit the support bar that rests on the back window. 821725

I considered a hitch to the car but the expense was too much. A neighbor said trunk mount was a safe way to proceed. It's a great bike rack.

I am writing to thank you for your excellent product and great service. I purchased the HRF2 trunk-mounted bike carrier to transport my daughter's bike 1,300 miles from our home in NH to her college in Iowa. I was looking for a secure carrier that did not require a trailer hitch. The HRF2 worked like a charm. The bike stayed secure during the entire trip. I purchased the carrier for our Honda Odyssey, but it reconfigures easily to fit our Honda Accord. I have since used it many times to transport my own bike on shorter trips. It is well-designed and well-made, and it comes with a set of useful accessories. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you. 805792

2019 BMW Z4
In Feb 2019, I purchased a Model F2 Hollywood Bike carrier to carry my Electra Townie bike on-board my 2008 BMW Z4 Roadster. Typically, I carry only one bike, but the ability to take a friend is worthwhile. I am extremely happy with the quality and utility of the rack. It is, however, intimidating to look at, at first sight, but I find it user friendly to attach to the car and mount the bike. I was worried about security until I realized that by utilizing the towing eyelet and my cable lock, I can secure both the bike and the rack to the vehicle. Although the rack is specified as correct for my Roadster, I found that the integral brake light mounted on my trunk lid has shattered. The rack does not mount on or near the light. I surmise that the six mounting straps affixed to the trunk lid may distort the lid slightly enough to put a compression load on the light itself. This is a potential problem for all roadsters and convertibles with a similar brake light arrangement. Therefore, I can only give it four stars **** 747068

Kia Soul
I’ve only had it on for an evening and rode around with my bike secured. It feels very sturdy and my bike was extremely secure... it didn’t move at all. I’m glad to find something that won’t put pressure on my spoiler and a Kia Soul is considered a hatchback but has more of a flat surface like a mini van. I’m very satisfied thus far with my purchase. It took about 30 minutes to install once I figured out which install was best because it came with additional components. I didn’t need to use the “hatch” install so set up was fairly quick. 719618

This bike rack is a great product. Installation was not difficult. It works great so far, although it has only been in use for a couple days. We first tried a cheaper roof rack but it was too hard to get the bike on and off on the steep driveway. The quality of this rack is well worth the higher cost. 716302

I'm pleased to say that we have gotten lots of mileage (and our money's worth) out of this product. At first it looked a bit complicated, but the video clearly and efficiently showed us how to install and adjust the bike rack. It's been getting regular use for a year now, as we take our bikes on lots of day trips. Bikes are easy to rack and remove, and once on they stay secure. This leaves more time for enjoying the trails. Five stars for the product and the video support! 705112

- Recommended Bike Rack for a 2019 Honda CR-VThe options to carry bikes on your 2019 Honda CR-V are the roof (which you said you don't want), a trailer hitch (which you don't currently have), or on the trunk. The trunk mount appears to be your obvious option. Putting a trunk mount rack onto SUVs with a rear hatch can sometimes be tricky; however, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, part # HRF2, is the clear solution. It has a high-rise frame which reaches over the top of the hach and the spoiler. A lot of racks either don't sit...

Both are absolutely sturdy and will fit your 2016 BMW X5, but the Gateway Pro adds the best stability and security for your bikes while also being the easiest to use. The Gateway Pro is simpler to install due to its lever system that allows you to more...

The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 will work with your 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. I've included a video of the rack being used on a 2019 Rav4. So, check that out to see it in action!
view full answer... - Will Trunk Mount Bike Racks for a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Work With Rear CameraThe best trunk mount bike rack option we offer for a 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 is because it has very minimal contact with the vehicle. The reverse cameras are usually near the latch release for the hatch so it should still be operable with the bike rack installed but without the bikes. That said, there are no trunk mount bike rack options that would be guaranteed to allow for the use of the reverse cameras with the bike rack installed...
view full answer... - Different Ways To Carry An E-Bike On a 2004 Honda PilotThe only way to carry an e-bike on a vehicle is with a hitch mounted bike rack because none of the trunk mounted or roof mounted bike carriers can handle the weight of this type of bike even if only one bike is carried. That said, the installation of a trailer hitch is very easy for most vehicles and they rarely require any permanent modifications. The other major advantage that the trailer hitch option has over a trunk mount or roof mount bike rack is that you can use the trailer hitch...
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack That Allows Rear Cargo Access In Honda Odyssey The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers part # HRF2 is a nice choice for the 2015 Honda Odyssey however it is not a good idea to open the rear door with the rack installed. The rack uses the door for stability and may fall off if the door is opened. I have attached an installation video for the Hollywood Rack on a 2012 Honda Odyssey you would remove the rack the same way but in reverse. Since you would like to open your rear door with the bike rack installed,...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Honda FitSince your 2019 Honda Fit has the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top trunk mount bike rack. This comes in both 2-Bike # HRF2 and 3-Bike # HRF2-3 versions and is specifically designed to avoid contact with spoilers. Both bike racks have weight ratings of 35 lbs per bike, have hubs with quick-release levers for easy adjustment of the arms, and are designed to fold up for compact storage. Neither bike rack comes with locks but they can...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Rogue with SpoilerWe have great bike rack solutions for your 2013 Nissan Rogue that has a spoiler but they are hitch mounted options as we do not have any trunk mounted racks that fit your vehicle due to the spoiler. So you'd need a hitch installed like the part # e98846 so that you can then carry a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z and you'd be set. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack for you to check out.
view full answer... - Best Way to Secure Loose Straps on Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike CarrierGlad to hear that you are already enjoying the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 for your 2020 Subaru Forester! While using Velcro or zip ties are viable solutions, I recommend using the Strap Keepers for Yakima Trunk Mounted Bike Racks # Y8890154 instead. These come in a quantity of 4 and are essentially like rubber bands that stay on the straps of your bike rack so you don't have to keep track of them. These are a higher quality than a standard rubber band though as...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford ExplorerHollywood Racks bike racks may not have the most modern of looks but they are solid racks that just get the job down well. For a vehicle that has a spoiler like your 2017 Ford Explorer you won't find a better trunk rack than the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2. I attached a demo video for this rack on a similar 2015 Explorer as well. Other option is a hitch bike rack which opens up quite a few different sleek rack options. If you are in need of a hitch the Draw Tite part # 76034...
view full answer... - Can Vehicle Trunk Be Opened While Trunk-Mount Bike Rack is InstalledThere are hitch-type bike racks that enable you to keep access to a vehicle's rear cargo area or trunk but unfortunately all trunk-mount bike racks, including the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 # HRF2, prevent opening the trunk/hatch while the rack is installed. They also prevent use of a rear wiper if one is present on the vehicle. If your Highlander has a 2-inch hitch such as # e98858 you can use a 2-bike wheel-mount rack like the tilt-away Kuat Transfer # TS02G or the frame-mount...
view full answer... - How to Carry Bikes on a 2009 Honda Fit SportSince you have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport you will not be able to use a trunk mount bike carrier because on the Sport models trunk mount carriers cannot be safely mounted to the vehicle. The options for carrying bikes are either going to be a roof mount or a hitch mount. A hitch mount is going to be easier to load and cost less. First you will need a trailer hitch. You can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24826. This is a Class I hitch so you will need a carrier that is rated for use on...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Subaru Forester TouringThe Hollywood Rack Over the Top Bike Rack # HRF2 is a fit for your 2019 Subaru Forester and would work well, but due to how involved it is to install and the fact I believe there's a better option available with the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 it is not my best recommendation I can make for you. I attached a picture of the Fullback installed on a Forester like yours and you can see that the straps to over the spoiler of your vehicle and won't put pressure on it. This will be much easier...
view full answer... - Recommendation for a Trunk Mounted Bike Racks for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350I have a couple racks that I recommend for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350. The first rack is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier, # HRF2. The Over-the-Top rack has high-rise frame and strap mounting that enables this rack to easily fit your GLE 350. The rack uses foam padding on the racks base that touches the car. The padding will protect your cars finish when using the bike rack. The rack is constructed out of steel and will fold up to allow for compact storage when not...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack For 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with SpoilerI'm assuming the photo attached is your Crosstrek and because of the spoiler, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This is specifically made for vehicles like yours to avoid contact and damage to a spoiler. This is a very versatile and adjustable bike rack to meet your needs. I do recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 as well as the Softride # SR18679 to secure your front wheel to...

- Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2014 Honda OdysseyThe Hollywood Over-the-Top 2 bike carrier # HRF2 is currently the only trunk mount bike rack we offer for your 2014 Honda Odyssey. This rack is designed with a high rise frame and multiple mounting options to prevent damage to your spoiler. The carrying capacity is 2 bikes and the weight capacity is 70 pounds. If you will be carrying women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, then I recommend an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO. It makes it easier for the rack to grab ahold of the...
view full answer... - Will Thule Raceway PRO fit on a 2017 BMW X1?None of the three available Thule Raceway PRO trunk-mounted bike racks that fit on a 2015 BMW X1 will fit on your 2017 BMW X1; you were correct when saying the spoiler would get in the way. All is not lost however, there are still trunk-mounted racks that will fit your current X1. For a two-bike rack there is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier, # HRF2. It uses anti-sway cables with rubber straps to prevent bike-to-bike contact as well as contact between the bikes and your...
view full answer... - Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Toyota SiennaThe Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Toyota Sienna and would be a great choice for carrying up to two bikes. Since this is a trunk rack it would not require you to install a trailer hitch also. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment...
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Lexus RX350 w SpoilerWith trunk mounted bike racks you do not want to open the trunk with the rack installed. Not only can this potentially cause the trunk to slam down and potentially injure you, but the clamps can also bind up in the hinges and dent the vehicle. The Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Lexus RX 350 though and would be a great trunk rack option. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also...
