The Saris Bones 2 weighs only 5 kg, and once the trunk is opened all the way vertical, the rack will stick straight and over the rear window, thus making the trunk stay open (again, my trunk mechanism is not a self-opening balanced swing hinge) | |

| Sep 23, 2016 at 4:18 | comment | added | mattnz | I have used a trunk rack, but not that one. I could open the boot, but the weight of the rack was significant enough that the boot would not stay open and was hard to lift up. care was needed closing it not to accidentally slam the boot really hard. No damage occurred to the car when opening and closing, although if you leave the rack on, grit and dirt will get under it and rub the paint - a strip of Ducktape will stop this if worried. | |

| Sep 23, 2016 at 2:47 | comment | added | Móż | It looks as though many of them allow lid opening, a quick image search for "trunk rack" showed a fair few photos that look plausible. Like this hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/trunk-racks But that particular one... I can't even imagine how it attaches to the cripple carriage from that photo. | |
