Title: Frustrating rack
Review: Very disappointing. More frustrating than the old bike rack I was looking to replace. The strap and buckle system on this bike rack is not reliable. Without an additional double knot of the straps, they will begin to loosen and the rack will become unsteady and begin to slip away from the car (the very first time we used it, one of our three bikes dragged along the highway for a few miles, destroying the bike tire!).As tight as you make the straps, even with the double knots, once you load the bikes, the extra weight will loosen the hook connection with the car. Then you have to undo the knots, pull the straps even tighter and redo the knots, all the while negotiating around the mounted bikes. Takes forever!! Not the rack to get if you need remove rack for access to the trunk. And one of the plastic tie-downs broke the very first time we used this rack.
Is the review positive or negative?
