 The solution for me! September 7, 2010
P David (Salt Lake City, Utah)
I have a convertible with a spoiler, which severely limits the bike racks available to me. Once I figured out how to mount this rack and adjust it completely, I fell in love with it. It is easy to remove, and just as easy to put back on. I found it great at high speed (75 mph, the speed limit out here - well maybe a bit more) with two full suspension mountain bikes mounted on the drive from Salt Lake City to Moab. Once I mastered the adjustments, I was able to comfortably clear the spoiler without damaging the trunk. I wish, though, that the instructions were better; there were lots of pictures, but I was still left to my own devices to really master the telescoping part of this rack.
Long distance bike rack August 14, 2010

I bought the Yakima 3-bike rack because one reviewer on here said that with the 2-bike model the bikes rubbed together, damaging the paintwork! It was a birthday present for my son (who lives in Issaquah, a long way from home in the UK); he had just replaced the gearbox on his camper van and was off to try it out on holiday, so the bike rack was a very useful accessory. Below was his assessment:
"We used this Yakima rack on a VW Vanagon and drove from Western Washington down the Oregon coast and back. The rack fitted very well and kept the bikes secure. The security wire was a nice feature - you can remove one end of it easily to slot it behind the trunk lid then re-attach so it cannot be pulled back through. The only thing that did not work well were the bottle openers - the plastic was too soft to purchase the top of the beer bottle."
So, another satisfied customer and my thanks to Amazon for making it so easy to get a present to family 5000 miles away in only 3 days on free delivery!!
 NOT recommended for 3 bikes when mounted on glass trunk July 25, 2010

I like everything about the rack, EXCEPT that calling it a "3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack" is deceptive. The instruction manual advises not to use more than TWO bikes if it is mounted on glass, as with my Ford SUV. Three bikes are apparently okay if used on a conventional trunk. I was looking for a rack that would carry 3.
Yakima works as stated, but dents the car body July 1, 2010

The Yakima QuickBack 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack works just as they describe, but any rack designed to put the bearing-weight on the trunk door of a car - like a minivan - ends up denting it. The weight of just 1 adult bike and 2 kid's bikes dented the bottom of our Toyota Sienna minivan's door.
In addition, I DON'T recommend this rack if you have a spoiler at the top of your minivan/car. It can break off the spoiler, due to the way the straps apply pressure to the outer edge.
The design works great if you can place the bottom of the rack on the step/footrest on the back, and you have no spoiler to worry about.
The only other gripe is the glass adapter strap. These have spindles on the end with big rubber cushions (they look like mini barbells) that you put inside the top of the door frame if you have a large glass rear window. The problem arises after you've adjusted them properly and closed the door, then you need to open the door for any reason. The rack shifts down as the barbells are pulled up towards the top of the door. Then when you close the door, you can break the barbell, or worse, the glass window.
You have to re-adjust the rack, which means unloading it, manhandle the rack to get the barbells in the proper place where the door doesn't pinch them or push against the glass window.
Not very good for a 2007 Subaru STI June 18, 2010

The bike rack itself does as it's advertised. I have a 2010 Specialized Pitch without a top tube. You can buy an "artificial top tube" that allows the bike to fit on the rack nicely. You should see the product under the usually bought with this item category. If I had a car it fit on better, I would give it five stars.
To all buyers: If your trunk has a normal curve to it, imagine the trunk of a 1995 Ford Taurus, you can use it. If your trunk has a sharp angle with a spoiler, or other body work that makes the trunk angle sharper, if you will, or...not like a 1995 Ford Taurus... then you may have problems.
It doesn't work with 2007 STI sedans well at all. The curve in it doesn't fit well over the top, back portion of the trunk right under the spoiler. Because of this you have to put it very low on the car. That doesn't allow the trunk to close very well with the hooks under it. The hooks also dig into the bumper and leave marks. Also, the angle you have to have the bike rack at so it fits on the car makes it so you can't use the first slot for bikes. The bikes will also swing and hit the car, leaving more scratches. The handlebar will most likely hit the spoiler of an STI as well. I would shop for a different rack if you have a trunk described above.
