Question:

Hi guys, Just quick question, which type of Bike Trunk Mounted Rack that safe for my car 2004 Toyota Matrix since the top trunk door is part of rear windshield glass and top spoiler so there is no frame around the glass unlike the trunk door of PT Cruiser or Subaru Forester. I was thinking about Thule Passage or Yakima SuperJoe 2 or others. Thanks.

A great choice in a trunk-mount 2-bike rack for instances like yours where the vehicle has a rear spoiler at the roof line is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This rack features a unique design that is ideal for vehicles with spoilers since its support arms extend up and over the spoiler.

A 3-bike version is also available, part # HRF2-3.

I have linked at right a product review video that illustrates these carriers.
