Buying online Saris Guardian 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Tough to fit 3-bikes, buzzes while driving fastBy Michael A. BehrI got this bike rack because it was mid range, though now I'm wishing I had sprung for the extra few $$$ for the Bones.Let's start with the good: Installation is a breeze and it fits VERY solidly on the back of my car, and fits a wide range of cars including Buick Lesabre and Toyota Camry. I'm quite confident that when I put my bike on, it's going to be there when I get to wherever I'm going.Okay, so now the downsides:The first issue I have is with the straps that affix this to the car. They hold the rack securely, but when you take taut straps and run air over them at 40+ mph, they start to buzz... LOUDLY. Maybe SUVs won't have this issue, but my sedans do.Second issue is the whole question of 3 bikes. I put two bikes on, and really didn't see how I would fit a third on.Lastly, there's putting a woman's bike on. It looks like women's bikes require the purchase of a Bike Beam accessory to create a virtual top tube. I got this only by looking at the website; the instructions in the box weren't clear about this. Such an accessory might be needed for every bike rack out there, but for the price, they could have included at least one! Or at least made it clearer at the time of purchase so that I could have purchased both at the same time.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. » More Information about Saris Guardian 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.
