If I put this on my SUV would my handle bars be touching the rear window?

on the inside lane, probably yes. I use it with only one bike and so it does not touch my rear tailgate with the ladder method. It also depends on the size of the bikes. If the front bike is very small, you may be ok. In any event its a great value. Easy to load the bikes.

I have this hitch on a 2002 Durango R/T and the handle bars do not touch the window.

No it would not. Especially you only have one buke. This item is heavy but it's good for the price.

They don't touch the glass when tie downs are snug. make the Expedition much more useful!

its depends on where you position the handle and throttle. no absolute wrong or right way

We returned it. When you put the bar around the seat the handle bar does not move and it is hard to turn. I think (I am not sure) that it fits in the trunk without that handle bar in the back. I am not sure because, as I said, we returned the item.

Nope. I love this top for trails and also overnight when I leave the top off in my apartment complex. The front will come down over the windshield. I usually put the windshield wipers over it to keep it down though I doubt it needs it. The top is tight and secure.

You're always going to have problems with the back flapping partially when you remove the rear window. As long as you tighten the front down (and the midbow/support with the straps), you should be fine. It's just part of the design. Another problem I ran into that I found a solution for was the two rear side windows would act like parachutes and catch air, regardless of how well they were sealed into the doors when I began my journey. I took the two rear side window panels, and had a tailor sew velcro pile tape (the fuzzy portion) onto them where they meet the Bestop door frame and then I put Self-Adhesive 2" Industrial Strength Velcro hook tape on the actual door frame to seal it. No problems with the windows billowing since then. I hope this helps.

On my 2008 gmc sierra hd it's about 2 1/2" - 3". It is not the same top and bottom as the rear window slopes on my truck

I'm not sure I can answer this question directly. I'm going to assume that your brake cable is running along the top tube where you want to strap this over it? I just tried moving my HandleBand onto my handlebars and wrapped it around my shifter cables, and from what I can tell there, there would be no interference whatsoever. It is not built to be restrictive, but it is still very securely mounted.

No. It can fit on the bar that's between seat and back wheel. I have a women's cruiser and it fit fine.

Hard to say, when fully clamped down, they grab on pretty good. Only problem I've seen with factory aero bars is the flex. The carriers grab onto my buddies factory aero bars in his Avalanche just fine, but the bikes move side to side quite a bit. Well when compared to being mounted on the Yakima aero bars on my WRX.

I have a ranger 800 crew and the top of the fold down window does barely touch the roof with no harm. This is all I could help you with this subject.

I have the soft back window and it presses it tight against the bottom bar on the roll cage not sure how it would fit with a hard back window

As long as you already have the roof rack that the vehicle came with (ei- the ones going from the back window to the front window on either side.) These will 'claw grab' the bars installed on your vehicle's bars.. And im pretty sure that if your bars are totally round in shape, then they wont grab on to anything.. does this help you?

You know im not sure. Depends on the rear window. The rear window must have like a hard plastic small diameter tube like stick that runs the bottom length of the window. This tube slides into the tailgate bar . The tail gate bar comes with the brackets you need to mount to the tub on each side of the window. .

Yes! The window will move without problem, but I have found that the more I adjust the window, the more likely the door guard is to fall out and end up on the floor of my car.

I am unsure of each vehicle application. I would measure the back window and compare it to the size of the shade.

I've found that the wind deflection from my hand is minimal. But that may be because my handlebars are fairly wide and the windshield is placed pretty far forward from my hand position. With narrower handlebars, it would be better. Your knees will be well below (and out of) the air pocket created by the windshield. I have thought about fabricating matching lowers with sheet acrylic for winter riding.

Probably not since the antlers clip on the windows. The top of the door frame holds them down and keeps them from slipping up and off and they will fall off if you roll the windows down all the way.
