Will Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 is listed as a fit for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. It does not have a glass hatch accessory requirement like Yakima trunk mount bike racks.

An adapter bar, such as # 64005, is recommended but not required unless the bike has a step-through frame. If the adapter bar is not used the bike will be at an odd angle and can affect ground clearance.

However, if your Tiguan has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the hatch then I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3.

This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

Will this fit a 2016 Subaru with electric hatch? Not sure if I wrote complete car description - 2016 Subaru Forrester - for 3 bikes, will this work? thanks

Yes, the Hollywood Racks Express 3-Bike Rack is confirmed to fit and will work well on your 2016 Subaru Forester with the electric hatch.

@ChrisR Thanks Chris, My Forrester also has a spoiler. What is least expensive rack? Need at least 2 bikes, prefer 3.

@AnneM Since your Forester has the rear spoiler your best (and most economically priced) option is the Yakima HangOut 3-Bike # Y02638.
