Title: Less expensive means you have to work with it
Product review: This is a lowend rack intended to save you money. That being said you might have to work with it. Create extra padding for the trunk clips, for instance. As others have said add your own sturdy ties to keep the bikes from swinging. I used my long cable lock. AND you must add rubber or other material to each frame tube to keep the seats holding your bikes from moving. I don't like that it has plastic parts but if you aren't rough onthem they should last a long time. I just drove for five hours with mine on federal highways. No problems but you must do as instructions say and check straps for tightness on your first trip or after bumpy terrain.Oh, and as others said, expect that the strap version carriers are NOT secure. I bought it because I don't expect to ever leave my bike unwatched and I will transport infrequently and so I like being able to remove it. If you want drill hole in frame for a cable lock to trunk.
