About Yakima HalfBack 2 Bike Capacity Trunk Bike Strap Rack with 4 Strap Attachment
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
81% found the rack stable, but 19% experienced wobbling
I rode up and down with the rack and noticed no movement side to side or bumping, indicating its stability.
The rack design is really good, easy to install, feels solid and secure, and the bikes do not move at all.
When I got home, I found that my trunk had been pulled away from the rear window, causing water to leak in. This indicates that the product is not stable enough to hold the weight of the bicycle or other items without causing damage to the car.

Installation was super easy and it is very sturdy, holding bikes with ease.
It is difficult to install the rack and attach the clips to the trunk door, so I suggest having someone assist with the installation.
I discovered a warning in the fine print of the online manual that the carrier would damage my specific car during installation.

81% liked the durable construction, but 19% found it flimsy
The rack is very sturdy and a great fit compared to less expensive racks.
During the long trip, the product held up well except for minor rubbing on the bumper and potential scuffing of the paint.
I installed the rack twice and everything seemed okay. But when I went to remove the rack because of impending rain and lifted the hatch to remove the bottom, I heard a bending noise. The piece to the rack was bent as was my car. I'm not sure what happened or how it happened. I'm disappointed with the experience and sending the rack back via Amazon returns.
84% noticed improved aerodynamics with the rack, but 16% experienced increased wind noise
The rack design jams up the bikes and makes them mangled.
