Question:

Its a trunk rack but I have seen photos of it mounted on the back of hatch backs and SUVs with the upper arms against the glass on the back door. Will that damage the glass ? Will it work on an SUV ? SARIS doesent list it but I wonder if it will, work on my 2014 Honda CRV. thanks

I checked with Saris and they do not list the Saris Solo part # SA102 as a fit for your 2014 Honda CRV. This is considered a trunk mounted bike rack, but like you noticed some of these styles of racks can fit on hatches or on the back of an SUV.

For a similar Saris trunk rack that will fit your vehicle I would recommend the Saris Guardian 2 bike rack part # SAR93FR. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
