I own a 2014 Honda Accord Sport trim, can I open the trunk without removing BumperGuard? Also, will it interfere with the backup camera operation?

You can open the trunk with it on. It is very light. If your backup cam is mounted above plate it will not interfere. I have 2015 altima and it works great. No interference.

No, at least with My Car i have no problem having access to the trunk, but I think all depends on the type of car you have. I love the bike rack, and recommend to anyone who wants to get one. It it a great product!

No it will not interfere with the airbag sensors which are mounted behind the grill. I assume the strength of the steel and the fact that the bumper has a brush guard. It would take a much more severe impact to set them off.

The bottom strap goes under the car so the trunk will not open with the rack on unless you loosen the strap. The rack takes all of ten seconds to put on or take off so I wouldn't let that deter you from purchasing.

Hi. I'm just another customer, but I have the case. The way it's made, you couldn't keep the bumper on by itself. The soft bumper goes on, then the outer ring, which is hard plastic, goes over it and secures it. It looks really good, but you do still have to be a bit careful because you can knock it off more easily than a full case.

I have always loved Jaguars but have never been able to afford one. I expect that it would work as there are straps with velcro that fasten it to the trunk interior. The guard is a heavy rubber flap that stays in the trunk while not in use (traveling) It adds nothing pleasant to the appearance when in use, but does offer some protection against minor bumps to the rear.

With the cover still over the bed pulled tight, you can open the trunk about 75%-85%. Far enough to access it with groceries, duffle bags, suitcases, etc. With the cover open or partially open, you can open it fully. The only small intrusion I have had is the right side of the trunk does scrape on the bolt that anchors the right rear side rail. It scratches the outer edge of the trunk lid, but it is completely cosmetic (the Ridgeline bed liner is easily scratched by anything). I have had a 1-2 gallon improvement in gas mileage since I installed it.

there are 2 covers inside the trunk that come out with a screwdriver then the cover attaches under its own string pressure, no permanent attachment. its very easy to install/remove.

It's a pretty tight fit on its own, but there's a tether on one end that tucks into your trunk space--holding it in place. My cover also came with a lock and cord to hold everything in place.

You might have to do some cutting. I took mine off because it blocks the headlights and makes the jeep do a nose dive(60 lbs). It doesn't leave room for winch or future bumper choices. Not trying to tell you what to do but I got sick of having to take mods off because they weren't compadable with future better mods. I loved it for a month, then hated the grill guard. Sorry to go off on a tangent! Good luck.

Honestly I don't know, I am under the impression the rear bumpers are little different, since ours is the sport model 2013Best thing to do is go to dealer and check the sport and the C version and compare. Hope it helps, the item is a mustTo protect the bumper, very nice

I have a 2012 Civic and I can open and close my trunk with the rack installed as well as with my bike on the rack. The bottom strap, for me, goes on the bottom of the trunk so it does not deter opening and closing!

I had no problem with install of this with a camera in the handle . I have a 2013 with a camera and a key lock and it installed just fine. Works great.

I forgot to mention..it helps to remove the rear bumper.....but the rear bumper is only 10 bolts and the bumper itself is 100% plastic (pretty worthless), so taking it off and putting it back on is a non issue!

There's an access hole on the top of the bumper, that you can barely fit your hand through. Also, I recommend getting a synthetic cable, due to zero tolerance of over-spool.

Hello. I use this rack on my KIA Sportage and am able to still open the trunk.
