Like most of us, when I found myself considering a trunk mount bike rack, I was worried about possible damage to the paint job on my new Toyota Camry Hybrid. No worries! Right out of the box, the Saris Bones RS 3-Bike rack mounted onto the trunk in minutes, held the bike firmly in place while the car hustled to make my riding start time, held the bike firmly for the next four days as I tested it in all types of driving situations, DID NOT damage the car OR the bike, was a breeze to remove, and compact to store. Thanks Saris, for such a well thought out product! More expensive than some other models, but constructed with an eye for holding its resale value.

I searched many optional Trunk type universal Racks. This was about $100 more expensive that the rest, but I purchase because the design features seemed really nice.
I liked the ratcheting ties and the four point hold as opposed to the others six point.
The Round boots seemed ok, but appeared too hard and would damage the paint as opposed to the others using a very soft foam.
My big issues were the straps. Too long, difficult to use and always in the way during loading / unloading.
Other issue was my new rack had a defective frame support mount. Thy added a feature where you could move them out of the way during loading/ unloaded and one of the three did not work.
I emailed them on Monday and gave them the whole story, figuring they would send me a small part to fix it. I never heard back from them so I returned the rack.

The plastic binding straps (for mounting the bikes) on this rack scratch and damage the paint job and furthermore, do not offer sufficiently tight way to secure the bikes. This makes the bikes wobble and bounce on the road and increases the potential to damage. Very, very bad design by some person who obviously does not bike or use this product. Save your money and get the Thule -- any of the Thule's have rubberized straps that won't kill the paint job and at the same time offer a tighter grip on the bikes.

Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack I bought the RS-3 as our new Passat 3.6 4-motion would not allow a hitch mount. I was very concerned about stability of the rack, the attached bikes and the finish/paintwork of the car. In a word (or so) no problems. The 2 mountain bikes we carry are rock steady on the rack, the rack is rock solid on the car and the paint hasn't suffered at all.
I recommend a thorough reading and understanding of the instructions and then a rereading and "dry mounting run". Given you mount the carrier correctly, it's a superior product worth the superior price. Make sure that the rack fasteners and cups are clean as should be the trunk lid of the car. It also works very well on my wife's M3.

Never had to even look at the instructions for this bike rack; I had watched the demo a couple of times, and the rack installed exactly as the video had shown. This is a rock-solid bike rack, and installation/removal couldn't be more of a breeze -- 30 seconds to one minute. For me, this rack is well worth the money. I have carried two bikes on it with no problems at all, but as another person stated in their review, the bikes do need their front wheel/handlebars secured so they don't move around ("yes/no" movement). I think this is a normal situation when a bike is suspended and moving on anything; I just use a small nylon harness to loop through the bike wheel and the bike itself to correct this "problem". The bikes are extremely secure, and for the first time, I don't worry at all about them falling off. Hands down, this is the ultimate in bike transport if you are going to use a trunk mount rack.
