Does Using Hatch Huggers with Saris Bones Bike Rack Remove Pressure on Window
Updated 02/25/2025 | Published 02/24/2025
Question:
Does using the above configuration with the Hatch Huggers keep the top of the hatch window (which is flush with the hinges and top of the car) safe from problems with pressure from the two top straps? Thanks

Hey Aly, when using the hatch huggers with the Saris Bones part # SAR83FR it does allow enough pressure from the top straps to be removed from the window to point there wouldn't be any issues as long as you didn't exceed the weight capacity of the bike rack.
