Allen 102S Premium 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

Allen 102S Premium 2-Bike Trunk Mount RackI bought this rack for my Infiinity I30 with a spoiler. I was a little concerned about fitting over the spoiler, but it works perfect. I also like that you can change how to secure the lower portion of the rack by putting the hooks inside the trunk and closing the lid and then tighten the straps. You would only need to do this if you do not have a metal ridge below the bumper to secure the hooks. This gives you a lot of flexibility. Very well designed product.

Even though the manufacturer's website states that the bike rack would fit my 2002 Volvo C70, it rubbed against the rear spoiler. I chose to return it rather than risk damaging my car. Amazon's return center was gracious and extremely helpful in making sure that I was satisfied.

It worked great with a round trip of over 120 miles. The only thing that I would like to see different are some type of padding on the hooks and something to hold the bike tires, but other than those two things I think that it worked great with two bikes; it's sets up quick and easily, and it's easy to put away too - didn't have to read the instructions really.

Allen 102S Premium 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack This rack fits my Honda Accord perfectly. It's very easy to put on and take off, and holds my 2 bikes very securely. Great rack and great price! Have just taken on short trips but have no doubt it'll be good for longer highway trips.

This is a good product and well worth the money. Easy and relatively fast to mount; and it's a solid and safe carrier. Mine arrived with two straps that were not properly thermal cut so it takes time and some struggle to thread them through the narrow passages of plastic buckle - the straps hold the rack in place by hooking through car's car-carrier hooks (slots) underneath the rear bumper.

Metal parts are steel and feel solid - naturally they are heavier than aluminum tubing, sponge bumpers, however they are inserted into the tubing - they are there to prevent paint damage to your car's paint- badly cracked but so far holding- but eventually they will fail. This design is simple, functional, and it works. Yet Allen's Quality Control should be on the look out NOT to ship the product with minor yet annoying defects.

(8-18-08) Since I wrote this review, I had to contact Allen and request them to replace the defective parts with which my rack arrived. The customer service was lightening fast, no questions asked, in two days I received satisfactory solution to my problem.

I rate the customer service of Allen Top Notch, A-1, Superior.
