Which trunk mounted bike rack should I get for my ep3?

[Blindeye_03]

I am looking for a bike rack that will hold 2 or 3 bikes on it and be mounted on the trunk. Note:this is for my EP3 :)..

I found this thread:

And someone has a Saris Bones rack but what else is out there for our cars? I dont want a roof rack becuase I cant lift my heavy ass bike all the way up there by myself

I got a roof rack... i didn't want to have a trunk mount because im in and out of the hatch often getting stuff out. And the other reason is because i have the fiberglass type r wing which i dont think will be able to handle the weight from the bikes and straps. How heavy is your bike since you cant lift it?

[Blindeye_03]

Its a good 30lbs - I am sure I could lift it but I really dont want to drop it on the ground or my roof if something happens, plus I am not tall at all (5'7") - A "trunk" rack would just be easier too if I had friends with me and had their bikes.

lol 30lbs is not heavy. I thought you were going to say like 40 to 50 lbs haha.. i don't even know if bikes can be that heavy.

[Blindeye_03]

Its heavy enough that I dont want to risk damaging my roof or bike if something were to happen.

Anyways 3 bikes would be easier to get on a trunk rack and I am ready to buy one now. Any one have suggestions on brands/models?

[Blindeye_03]

I dont know what I was thinking - I fueled up today and noticed how low the roof is on our cars. I was thinking I would have to stand on the door lip or something to get a bike on the roof.

So I started looking at roof racks OH MY GOD I cant afford that :p.

Back to trunk mounts...

PM me. I've got a perfectly good Yakima roof rack that sits in the garage with teary eyes.
