The handlebars may extend a bit above the roofline, nothing else. >is the level of the rack shelf not adjustable? No it is not adjustable. >How much did the system cost for two bikes (in US$?) I think the basic rack for two bikes is around $300 to $350. >does it hold bikes well? Yes, it's very sturdy and holds bikes very securely. >can the bikes be locked down to the rack or do you need a separate cable lock The rack does not include a lock for bicycles. You need a separate lock. >The rear hatch is open able with the bikes attached? (forgetting the >extra weight) Yes the rear hatch will open, but is very heavy with 2 bikes on it. The rack comes with a couple of devices to help hold the hatch open. -Mark McCUlley |
