Bike rack for saloon

Post by **Shakey80** » Mon Feb 25, 2008 8:09 pm

Does anyone know a bike rack that will fit on a 2 door saloon???

I know I could probably get one that could fit to a tow bar, but I want to avoid that if possible.

A good roof rack would be best I think!

I used to fit one to my old moggy 4door split from halfords, it would rest just above the number plateand back edge of roof(under window) and be secured on the edges of the boot, I had two mountain bikes on it, with no problems, and the lights were not obscured

hope thats some help

I have a rack designed for normal saloons and hatchbacks.
Attaches via adjustable straps with hooks on the end (much like the metal hooks you use on luggage racks)

Anyway, this fits the minor bootlid perfectly. The Minor hinges and whatnot are easily tough-enough for the job.

Note the lightboard - you'll need one if the bikes obscure your rear lights/plate. Wiring is childsplay though so don't let it put you off.

Look here, the 'AutoMaxi PER305' is virtually the same as I have.

Thanks for the help everyone!!

That roofrack looks good, but its just too far away. The best bet seems to be the AutoMaxi rack. I will see if any local shops have it so I can see if it fits.
