What is the min distance from rear crossbar to rear of rack? Trying to see if it will interfere w/my liftgate

if you are using on Hyundai Santa Fe, you will have to run the rack backwards. The cross racks will not move far enough forward to allow you to run with the front wheel toward the front of the car. A better choice of racks would be the Yakima front loader. You would still have run the rack backwards. I have had both racks and think the front loader is a better choice. Check Yakima's web site, they have come out with rail fittings to allow a cross bar further forward on the car. This would cost more, if you just have to have the front of the bike toward the front of the car.

I have the rack installed on a 2014 gonna odyssey. No problem with the lift gate. The cross bars that the rack mounts to are in a fixed position, but plenty forward for no problem. The rack is fantastic.. Super easy to use and hold the bike very well without having to deal with for the front wheel. Strong recommend.

The rack is approx 53 inches long, front cross bar to front of rack needs 8 inches, max between 2 cross bars is 38 inches, which leaves 7 inches from rear cross bar to rear of rack.

The only measurement specified for that is 8" from the front of the tire track to the front crossbar. The rear mount is free, and can be adjusted as necessary to fit your application. It could be as close as 1".

Shouldn't be a problem fitting the factory rack. Have about 5,000 miles on mine. No problems and I can get it on and off in around fifteen minutes with all the practice.

Sorry I can't help you. The rack we purchased went to another location and personnel is not available to answer.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

The cross bar is 21" outside and 20 1/4 inside the metal loops. Minimal height is about 39". Mine is currently extended 17" for a total of 56". I assume I could go to 60 or higher but did not measure another setting. I have it on a 2" receiver; however, you can adapt to smaller hitch/receiver. Bars are solid. 1 1/2 " outside bar. 1 1/8th" inside bar.

Turn up the stereo! Solved. Well that model has mounting brackets that connect around our vans crossbars. When we installed the brackets (not straps) and tightened them we didn't have any rattles. It could be that your mounting hardware is not aligned for the best contact and there are gaps between the cargo carrier and your roof rack crossbars. I'd try to see if the bracket to crossbar connection can be changed to the tightest fit. I noted that some vehicles need some mods to make the carrier brackets fit that vehicles mounting better. Best I can offer.

When u say smaller are you talking length between the front and back crossbars or width? Our roof rack was not lon enough between the front and back crossbars. I simply removed the rear crossbar and it worked great. The width of the Roof rack was just wide enough for the bag to fit. I had absolutely no problems with the bag once secured.

We have a Ford Edge and we had a factory roof rack that was only 21" between the cross overs. Read the minimum adjustment I think it is 23 3/8" then measure you cross overs. We took our car back to the dealer and had them remove or factory rack and bought aftermarket roof rack.

You should have plenty of room.use mine on Ford f150 of which I can lay tailgate down with rack on, center bar up (with one bike on in rear most position. You may not be able to open door with bikes on but should have plenty room. Great rack though! Very solid.

No idea what type of crossbars you have. I have the aftermarket Yakima rack on my car with the 55' crossbars. I can def fit 3 comfortably, possibly four but that's pushing it

Ok. I'm confused. Why are half of you saying the distance between the collar is 52 1/4 and the others saying 47 1/4. I have a squat rack that takes a minimum of 51". I'd hate to deal with having to send this back. Can someone confirm that this is the bar we're referring to - 6' Olympic Black Bar w/ Chrome Sleeve OB-72UL

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!

It doesn't really block it much a little bit of the rear side. I thought the rack worked great on our 14 outback

Sorry have to ask a question . Is there a gap between the spoiler and trunk? If there is the rack should work.

There is a small fairing on the front with a support beam that is a little higher than the rear of the rack. You could take the fairing and cross beam off the front to make the front and back the same height, but that would be a hassle.

How about height when measured from the cross beam to the top of the rack? Need to ensure that I can get into the garage. Thanks.
