No, you will need to get a strap rack that has arms that move independently where the bikes rest. On this rack the only parts that move at the piece that actually touch the car. You will need to look at either the King Joe or Quickback models from Yakima. There are not any strap racks at that price that will work well for your car. You will need to spend at least $150.

if you're looking to get a couple bikes from point a to b without spending a bunch of money this does the trick. Only thing I would change is making it compatible to adding stability cradles if an owner wanted to.

After using a trunk rack for several months I started to see a good amount of trunk damage even though I was very careful in removal/installation. If you're going to be driving any kind of long distance then I'd reccommend a roof or a hitch system. They're more expensive, but will do less damage to your car and bikes

Does this rack work on a hatchback? It was recommended to me by a guy who has it on a Subaru Forester. I have a Mazda 3.

Anyone know if this rack can go on a Mazda Protege 5 hatchback? The rack I had for a car with a trunk does not fit on the Protege hatchback. Any suggestions?

I have a general question about rear mount bike racks - can they be easily installed and removed? Or once installed they have to be on your car. I need a rack that I can quickly install if I plan on taking my bike on a trip. I don't often do it, but situations have come up.

Yes, they basically have a couple of clips that pop on and off with the additional of a couple of straps. I'd say about 1 or 2 minutes at most.

This is the same model my parents used growing up to transport us and our bikes on camping trips, and it holds up just as well as I remember. I have an odd-shaped bike and this rack makes it transportable without buying a separate attachment such as a straight bar (although I might invest in one in the future as they make it easier to load the bike). I have already made several short trips and one long and had no problems. Enjoy!

The money you save by getting this cheaper rack will catch up to you over time with collapses and damage done to bikes. Save for a while and get one with bike stabilizers-it will pay for itself over and over.

Does this include the Glass Hatch Hooks as indicated on the Yakima website, or do those need to be purchased separately?

These do INCLUDE glass hatch hooks for glass trunk or gate mounts.

What are the differences between the Little Joe 3 and the Super Joe 3?

The Super Joe has "Yakima Stable Cradles" in conjunction with the six strap system which hold the bikes in place.

Is there a way to lock the rack to the car ? I have the rack and I'm always afraid to leave the bikes on since someone could take the bikes and the rack.

Thanks

the best way that I have found to lock your bike to your vehicle using a trunk rack is to purchase a seperate cable lock and use the tow loops that are typically on the bottom of your vehicles bumper. run the cable through the loops on the vehicle and then through the frame and wheels if possible. Typically the persin is trying to steal the bike. If you just want to leave the rack on the vehicle, there is no good solution, but the rack folds down in seconds and can be put into the back seat or in the trunk.
Yakima does offer a new rack called a Quickback that does come with a security cable that i attached to the rack and when you put the other end of it into the trunk or hatchback, secures the rack to the vehicle. This is a brand new rack and is also the most simple rack to put on and take off a vehicle. This may be something for you to look into.
