Best Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack to Keep 2019 Toyota RAV4 From Getting Damaged

Question:

Im looking for a trunk mounted bike rack for a 2019 Toyota rav4. I don't want to use a trailer hitch for a bike rack and I am not going to put one on my roof (that scares me). So I want a trunk-mount rack, but I read reviews that some of these trunk-mount racks can do some damage to the rear of a rav4. What do you recommend that will be both really secure, safe, and will not damage the car?

You are correct that from time to time trunk-mounted bike racks have been known to cause damage on certain cars like a RAV4, though we do have an option for you that is both secure and will keep your 2019 Toyota RAV4 safe, the SeaSucker Hornet Rear Window Bike Rack # 298-BH1302.

If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see how the Hornet simply attaches to the window, which will protect your RAV4's hatch from damage. It uses extremely strong vacuum-cups to maintain grip on your hatch, and if you watch the linked video showing the SeaSucker Hornet # 298-BH1302 on a test course you will be able to see how stable your bike will be when attached to your 2019 RAV4.
