A must have if you lead an active lifestyle. Fits my 21 year old Rav4 Hybrid. I mountain bike, I throw my bike and gear backwards, that should help me not get caught on the bumper. But I'm careful not to scratch the car. Ease of installation. Was about a week. If this happens I plan to use the best 3M tape to reattach it. The rubber is thick enough, but doesn't interfere with closing the tailgate. The rubber is flexible and feels comfortable. Install from the center to the edges. Follow the instructions provided. Thoroughly clean the surface with alcohol before applying the protective film.
