Question:

I see the Yakima rack folds back for access to CRV cargo area but do the arms fold down as well like the Thule? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The arms on the Yakima Ridgeback, # Y02458, do fold down, and there are other models that also have this feature.

You may like the Rola TX-104, # 59401, as well. This rack does tilt down away from the vehicle, it has arms that fold down, and comes with an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. I have included a link to the installation details for this rack for you to view.
