<p>What post #4 said. Plus with a trunk rack, if there is a rear end fender bender, gues what gets destroyed first? ,) Over the years, I have used roof racks with great success. With a small SUV, one of the most elegant solutions is to buy small fork mounts that you attach to the second row seat backs. When transporting the bikes, lower the seats, take the front wheels off the bikes, stick them in through the hatch and lock them in. Safe, secure and still leaves room to pack stuff in the rear around the bikes. Most mail order bike parts companies have them. If you are fixated on a trunk rack, look at Saris, Thule and Yakima. They are the best established names in the market and have withstood the test of time with quality products.</p>
