advice on bike racks????

[Mr. Bloom]

I put a sock over the part that sits on the trunk top so it won't damage the paint

The way the Saris sits, you can have access to the trunk at all times.

Roof racks are too tall for me,

Looks VERY Comfortable there!

I too have the Saris Bones and think it's great.

I like the sock idea, but it's still a good idea to wipe off the trunk with a damp rag before installing the rack...even a soft thing will scratch if there's dirt between it and the paint.

Trunk access will depend on the car. On my Lexus, I have to strap onto the tow clips which are under the bumper - this precludes trunk access.

Everything in the world is too tall for me

I also have the Saris bones, and I've gotten three bikes on there and driven 70-plus mph on the highway with no problems. It's a great rack, as far as I'm concerned. Hope you like it.
