Something to consider:When I wanted to mount a bike rack system on my rear
hatch, I went to a rack-specific store. I already had in mind what I wanted
and wanted to do so I described that and the shop guys said they no longer
made the type of racks with towers that clamped around a gutter edge. They
did say they had a box of old rack pieces in the back of the shop that
employees had discarded their old rack parts into and I could look through
that. Sure enuf, they had a set of 4 old Yakima towers that would clamp onto
the edge of the hatch so I ended up paying $10.00 for each "pair", $20 for
the 4. I did buy the bars from them so they made some bux on that.
