Miss Ellie & Co.:
I couldn't tell from the picture. Is your rack tall and goes from near the top all the way down to the bottom of the tailgate? Or does it lower than the one roadie has and starts from near the bottom of the hatch down to the the bottom of the tailgate?
Snuffy - It's sorta like a small folding ladder.
The top section is a tall fold out, adjustable, locking U arm that leans into place directly under the rear windshield wiper nozzel.
A large HD sponge like brace at the top of the U arm protects the glass against scratching and centers the position of the rack at very top of the rear glass.
(right under the nozzel)
The bottom rung is two legs - again with large sponge braces for the legs to rest on the rear bumper.
It has 6 HD nylon adjustable (rubber coated) hook straps = Two on top, two on the bottom and two on the sides.
It's very secure. I love it.
Here's a better photo - Two days of driving and over 1000 miles to Yellowstone.
I forgot to bungie cord the front wheel to the water bottle bracket on the bike, so the front wheel moves freely in this photo but still won't hit the rear of the E.
The only draw back is that I can't open the rear hatch with the bike on the rack - but the E has plenty of doors.
When traveling I load stuff that I frequently need access to next to the sucide doors.
I can get to everything I need with no problem.
