Product works well with the Bones trunk bike racks. Easy to use and install. The product gives you a little more peace of mind with a 3 bike set up.

I have to admit that I haven't used it on a road trip yet but I installed it on my SUV just to do the sizing adjustments and it seems quite secure. There are three reasons why I didn't give it 5 stars;
1. I had to pay an additional $20 for a specific adaptor for my SUV because the upper hooks weren't compatible.
2. When it rains I have to keep in mind is not to activate the rear wiper as one arm of the rack lies against the rear window and will destroy the motor/wiper arm.
3. All the straps are much to long resulting in them flapping in the wind unless tied off. I can't imagine any vehicle needing the lengths provided. I'm considering trimming some of them.
Other than those issues, it's one of the best racks on the market.

I was looking for a bike rack for my old BMW 318ti; after looking into some other ones, which did either not fit or were expensive, I found this one to be an affordable, light and practical solution.
Have not yet gone very fast or lingers distances with it, but so far seems to hold up well (with 2 large&heavy trail bikes on it).

This works very well. It is necessary for the Saris Bones Bike Rack to work on my
Ford Escape. Only issue was the shipping was overpriced. I need to order new knobs for the Bike Rack but the cost of shipping is higher than the cost of the product.

Do the job! I dislike having to disconnect to remove but they feel secure

I needed these for our Lexus RX450. They work great keeping direct pressure off the rear spoiler. They are easy to use.

We so appreciate the design and quality of the Hatch Hugger bicycle rack straps! They secure the rack without tearing up the edges of the hatch and hold it securely in place.

Why have this as an optional accessory? Include with all bike rack purchases.

I got the hatch huggers to accompany my new bones rack, to switch between the two cars in my household. Just had it on over the weekend for a couple hour drive and they worked great. Easy to install and even as the rack shook a bit in the wind, it was stable the whole way through.
