Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this bike carrier for my 1971 VW Squareback. While I was able to attach it to my car, I did not feel it was secure enough to stay on with the weight of a bike on it. The clips on the ends of the top straps were not designed well; it seemed like it wouldn't take much to pull the out from the hatch of the car. They should also have had a rubber coating on them. The bottom straps had these huge hooks, which didn't attach well to anything on the car. I also think it needs side straps to really stabilize it. The plastic Michelin Man "padding" was cheesy.
I'm not sure if this is typical for all bike carriers, but I didn't like that I couldn't open my hatch without removing the whole carrier, not just the bike. I transport bike and dogs, and since the car has only 2 front doors, I need to be able to open my hatch to let the dogs out.
Another problem I had was with folding it. It's supposed to be foldable, but it was really difficult for me to pull the cross bars into place without catching my fingers. I sent it back.
