Expert Reply:
It doesn't really matter where you mount the Yakima FrontLoader, # Y02103, on the roof of your vehicle. But consider that you will need to access the bike easily and safely. This usually translates into placing it on the passenger's side because the middle would be harder to reach and the driver's side is the street side. The passenger's side is the curb side so it is safer and easier to access than the middle.
