I do not have dark tints on my Subaru{putting the bike without wheel removal inside is a pain} so I opted for the hitch carrier vs. the roof carrier...I cannot imagine lifting my bike onto the roof! I am returning the carrier to the dealer because it's like having a mail box with post on the rear of my car. The carrier is hard to remove, requires banging with a rubber mallet to attach and to remove. Second time usage I was driving out of the driveway..saw the bike wiggle..I could not believe the darned carrier rubber pad had come off! I was so angry. I tried to remove the bike by unscrewing it...the screw was stuck so I used a plier to release it. I drove immediately to the dealership but of course on Saturday the parts dept. was already closed. For goodness sakes..stay away from the Subie bike carrier.
Now, who can help me choose a new carrier which is easy to remove as I only want the carrier on my car during weekends.
Thanks
