Review on Efficient & Stylish Hollywood Racks F1B 3-Bike 🚲 Trunk Mount Rack, Black - Securely Carry 3 Bikes! by Jayme Newitt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Is working! But read this review to know the nuances, especially if you have a MINI Cooper

I was hoping when I bought this that I could install it on my MINI Cooper but I had some problems but I was able to figure it out. Here's what happened: - When installing, you must not hook the hooks directly onto the glass, otherwise there is a risk of the glass breaking. Since the tailgate is glazed to the brim and the hooks aren't big enough to enclose the glass and frame together, I had to improvise. I checked out the spoiler but it didn't seem safe at all. Luckily the straps are long (very long) and I fastened (knotted) them around the inside handles of the rear seats, then pulled the straps over the sides of the tailgate (remembered to fasten them under the hydraulics to avoid putting pressure) . her), closed the door and was then able to hang the rack from there. A little understood. But it worked! Be sure to re-tighten the straps after loading the rack. I had to do this a few times to make sure it was secure. Also take a test ride with a bike in the back. found that initially the straps stretched a bit and loosened the posture a bit. However, after these straps stretched, they wouldn't and I haven't had any issues since. And the center strap that secures the bikes is happy to slide to the side - you almost lost one of the bikes. off a rack when it shifted so I used it to tie one side of the bike and then the spare strap (it comes with an extra strap) to tie the other side. no questions!

Pros
  • . Kid's bikes, women's bikes and some mountain bikes may need a top tube adapter for rack mounting
Cons
  • Not bad
