Saris Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Racks

These are an essential addition to your Saris bike rack if you're worried about the standard straps damaging your car. I purchased the rack knowing that my car wasn't listed as compatible - rear boot spoiler being the main issue, but these huggers solved the problem,. The standard straps were fine but i was worried about the paintwork and the pressure placed on the spoiler. Problem solved! Went for two pairs and used the standard straps as backup. Perfect!

I'm not struggling with a rear hatch, I'm struggling with trunk seam clearance. I'd tried a 3 bike Bones some years ago but could never get the middle/side anchors to work in my trunk seams without bulging or bending the trunk lid wherever they were placed. The top and bottom anchors were fine, but the side wouldn't go without force/damage. I'm not sure they had these then, but wow they sure work for me now on a 2 bike bones... With the trunk slightly ajar, I place the top anchors on the trunk lid with the rack itself sitting lightly on top. Then I get slack in the side 'Huggers' strap and drop one down along each edge of the trunk lid into the trunk, then I move on and adjust the bottom anchors at the bottom edge of the trunk at the bumper. At this point I shut the trunk. Making sure the 'Huggers' have enough slack to accommodate for the motion without coming out of the trunk, I'll slightly raise the lid and shut it down firmly. I take up the 'Hugger' strap slack to snug the block up against the inner side of the lid, tighten at the buckle and I'm good to go. Everything cinches up tight and the rack is rock solid. I couldn't use this rack, or maybe any rack, without it. Hope this helps!

They are great stuff.
