Is it easy to access the spare tire bay with this product?

The tray is flexible and light enough to lift out of the way when accessing the spare tire area. It has not been a problem for me.

This rack is not dependent to year of vehicle. It mounts to the spare tire itself works very well

easy-very simple. just put trailer adapter onto the hub of the back tire, and the little trailer just slips on, and slips odd. very easy.

It has the basic tools for tire removal, etc... You may want to buy a set of allen wrenches

You can just buy one per parking bay. You'll be able to feel it just fine when you bump it with the tire.

I have a spare tire too. My spare tire is connected to the bumper so I was able to slide it over to the edge and then attach this bike rack. A tight fit for the bigger bikes, but I just put them on the outside positions of the bike rack and they fit perfect. We have traveled to 7 different states with this rack attached and we love it.

Yes, quite easy. I remove mine in summer as ski season is over and I have no use for it.

It's ok, but it's easy or soft press the lugs. I had to use a screwdriver to set up the rig.

Yes, very easy. Drill and install, don't overtighten. You can also add a small bead of food safe silicon around joints

Very accessible. The valves are right there when you lift the access lid. Just lift off to change tanks out or remove for refill.

Yes, there is a compartment under the floor in the trunk. Usually, there is a tire mobility kit stored in this compartment. The tire mobility kit is removed, and the spare tire installs neatly inside!OEMKiaSuperStore

I agree with "vefer's" answer. Just get a cable & lock and you'll be all set. Otherwise, this is the nicest spare tire bike rack I've found for the $$! Only issue I've had with it is that the bolts do rust out. I put a coating of Teflon Lube Gel on them a few times a year to help protect them, or you might want to re-coat them with some Rustoleum paint. But it is a very good rack.

You can do it. However the size makes it difficult. Your best bet is a tire shop as they have all the right equipment. This saves the chance of scratching rims

Yes, very easy. jack up vehicle and remove the rear wheel (supporting vehicle with stands). remove the inner fender cover by removing the approx 10 clips. Unbolt upper and lower bolt. Installation is the reverse. I used an impact gun on the bolts, however if you dont have one, a breaker bar should suffice.

It is pretty easy to access, unless you have something like an antifreeze bottle placed on the side storage then you might have to lift that up to open the center compartment since the mat is a single piece and covers three compartments. I took my time installing and it has been very durable.

yes,I did and small "donut: type spare came mounted and filled with air. All you have to do is take the old insert out of the trunk and discard it and you get a new one that holds the spare and the jack kit. Good way to solve the problem of no spare tire and easy to install takes only 10 minures. Make sure you order from company that supplies both rim and tire because the only source of spare is from Hyundai and it coast more than the kit that includes everything!

Its easy. Nuts and bolts stuff. I think it even came with a wrench. Took maybe ten minutes first time, and that was three yrs. ago. Still holding up great BTW. Just have had to replace two tire tubes. Makes a twice monthly grocery run with my electric bike. Very slight fraying in the fabric but I'd guess it has another 5-7 yrs left.
