Question:

I just installed my new Yakima 2 timer bike rack on my new Etrailer 2” hitch, tightened everything down and there’s still a lot of vertical play. It is not snug. Looks like I’ll need to install a rubber wedge to minimize the play. Do you have any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The best option to help reduce the amount of play you are experiencing with the Yakima TwoTimer Bike Rack in your Curt Hitch # C13152 is not a rubber wedge, but the Trailer Hitch Support Strap - Bike Rack Strap # 18050.

Loop one end of this strap around the upright bar of the TwoTimer and attach the padded hook end through the hatch of your Hyundai Santa Fe. I have added a link to a video for you which shows exactly how this strap works.
