- an error in the first assembly instruction forced me to call the store to see how the hitch bolt and washers went in
- it’s VERY difficult to screw in the swing-out arm each time you open it. the salesperson took over five minutes to do it, and it still took me three minutes on my 3rd try.
- the hitch pin lock doesn’t fit with the cotter pin on [no biggie, but the instructions say to put the pin on first]
- it includes two tools that fit the arm bolt, but not one for the hitch bolt
- although the Yakima book said it would fit on my 2007 Toyota RAV4, it didn’t [because of the external spare tire], so I had to get an extension piece for the hitch or return the rack [which I did, so I can't tell you how it actually works. the salesperson said it works well, but that you can only get 3 bikes on it]
- the built-in cable bike lock doesn’t slide into its slot, so 15″ of it sticks out
Think about it, most other racks prevent you from opening the back door with the rack mounted. That is a huge hassle. This rack is solid, works and swings out of the way either with or without bikes, to allow access to the rear door.
