Does this model rack fold flat against the car? Is the stock photos and video accurate to what I will get when I order the HR1000?

It absolutely does not fold flat against the car. The distance is determined by the stalk that sticks into the trailer hitch and it is about 8 inches from the bumper. You can cut it and drill a new bolt hole of you want it closer. No problema

Photos and video are very accurate. it does not fold flat completely against the car, but so far this is the best bike rack. i would highly recommend.

It's pretty easy to fold/unfold one assembled. It's just a single hinge in the middle. We have a small car so we also loosen the handlebar bolts to remove them to put them into the car. It's closest to a 'normal looking' bike we could find that folds, so it works pretty well for us.

I have the Swagman rack also and it works great. The only caution on a truck or car is the amount of wind it is subjected to. On a motor home there is less wind due to the flat back.

I am not sure I understand the first question. There is some foam with adhesive backing that you apply to the rack before installing. The arm does fold up.

I think Yakima really designed this particular rack for the factory cross bars, since many of their other racks work with their proprietary shape. So, if your car is rolling with those bad boys, you should be all set; they set up on my Subaru no problem!

It is adjustable, and it does somewhat meet the contour of your roof. It is at about a 45 degree angle and appears to have some shape as I look at my vehicle. I have a town and country 2008. The feet on the bottom are adjustable to make the differences up. But the look of it and shape make it look like it is forming. Best answer I can give you. This thing works and keeps my rack from making noise. That is the purpose and i like the quiet.

No it does not lie flat as opposed to the description...I will not suggest this stroller to anyone...Graco has come out with this cheaper version which does not have a good quality plastic and except the fast action close feature there is nothing great about it...I regret the purchase..the plastic quality is so bad that it has major scratches just by merely putting it in the car trunk! Please don't waste your money...spend $50 more and get a better quality!!!

Yes. It will fold but not flat. I hang mine, I have two, on hooks in the garage and compress them somewhat.

I cannot comment on the Honda, but I have been using this rack on a 2005 Subaru Forester, with no issues. On occasional shopping trips, I have to load up the rear with stuff, and the easy flip-down feature is very convenient. Not familiar with the type of bike you have. I have used the rack with two road bikes, and it worked fine.

The description provided by Amazon is very confusing isn't it? Hadn't noticed that before. My understanding is that the UK is for cars without factory racks and the RH is for ones that do. The rack I purchased is the RH and it works like a charm with the rails on my Honda Pilot. Your should definitely clarify which one you are purchasing because they are very different in terms of how they attach to the car and are not interchangeable in that regard.

The fit on a murano can be determined on the product website. But you cannot fold the rack down AND still keep it in place on the car.

It folds fairly flat, but it will still be rather long. It doesn't really get into a "pile" because the back is rigid (the side where the handle & wheels are). I'd say it becomes sort of like a flat suitcase. It is only a few inches thick when collapsed. It would fit in the trunk of a rental car easily, depending on how much else you need to fit in the trunk!

The entire unit does fold down. Not totally flat though, about the same as a baby stroller. It fits in the trunk of my car with no problem, but in my opinion does take up a fair amount of room.

Yes. The bike rack does fold up against the vehicle. It is just a slight adjustment to the connector pin. Have not used it for 4 bikes, but we did use it to carry a large piece of luggage and it worked great. Very versatile and a great purchase.

The rear of the rack attaches to the frame before the frame reaches the bumper. The rack then goes between the bumper and the body. It does not lay on the bumper at all. The picture doesnt really provide a good reference.

It may be an odd camera angle. I bought one and the side against the back seats is perfectly flat, not rounded. Be careful when using, mine slid back when unloading items and then when the hatch closed, it closed onto the back lip of the mat.
