Review on 🚲 IMT Bicycle Roof Rack, Vacuum Suction Cup Bike Carrier Aluminum Alloy Roof Mount with 5 Adapters – Compatible with Various Bike Models by Brandon Frogge

Works as designed: my feedback

I'm new to biking. I drive a little car with a very large sunroof (no luggage rack available on the roof). My options were this suction cup mount or a hatchback rack. I went with this one.It works as designed.My routine:- clean sunroof with windex (get the pollen off the glass)- attach the front mount (takes about 1 minute to get the suction cups fully engaged)- remove tire from bike and put it in the back seat- heft bike to roof and pray I get the forks into the mount without missing and cracking my sunroof- tighten the quick release on the mount- put back suction under rear tire and engage suction cup- strap back tire- strap petalsI put it over the passenger side and am able to see one of the plungers on the front mount while driving (by glancing up through closed sunroof) to be sure it is still engaged (no red line).I've only driven a couple miles with it on the roof. Nervous it is going to go flying off, but with more usage i'm getting more confident it will stick.I also pull it off while I'm riding and reattach when I'm back at my car. I don't want someone who knows what it is to pop them off my roof and walk away with them.I wish the quick release on the mount had a longer axle so that I could open it up a bit wider to make it easier to drop the bike onto it. If you loosen it too much, the nut comes off all together.For a one person rider and a short car, this is a good solution. If you needed to move two bikes, it obviously wouldn't work. If our car is tall, it would be hard to get the forks to align into the mount.
