Only negative part of the product are the metal hooks that attack to the car

But one minor downside is the metal only pegs/locks used to secure it to the trunk

It's thin hollow cheap metal likely won't give me the same years I got out of my last one

Be careful of the metal clips they can scratch

The hooks are bare metal and will damage car paint

The clips that go into trunk are metal and can scratch car

so I wouldn't have any metal on metal, as recommended in some other comments.

It rubs metal against metal and scratches the painting.

The rack loses a star because the contact points to your vehicle on the straps are metal and will scratch your car

What you will need is some rubber grippers for each metal hook ( like rug gripper or cabinet liner

The metal brackets to secure the frame are extremely dangerous to assemble

n’t recommend this rack!!!BEWARE OF THIS RACK!!!!

n’t scratch.

n’t scratch your trunk- Use bungees

In my pictures, you can see the rack empty as well as with two bikes attached
