The Clamps

First one Front Clamp. Tight Fit, But clears no problem

Second: Rear Clamp. Plenty of clearance

Third. The Safty Sress Straps. They are long, so I did have a slight problem shortening them up to fit as the instructions state. Might fit better if use second bar, versus the first one as indicated in the instructiions.

Some shots with the trunk lid up?

Re: Luggage Rack: The Install

Couple more ange shots of fitment and overall look.

I Test fitted the clamps. There is plenty of clearance for them from the fender edges. The part that actually clamps to the trunk lid are padded.

With the Rack aligned properly (See Paper Test), the Thrid Brake Ligt is clearly visable, from rear of car.

Now to go and clamp it down. I will add the "Stress Load" Straps, so you can see them installed. Really easy, just hook the padded clamps to the front edge of the rack, and secure the straps to the first bar. That now gives the rack 6 holding spots to handle heavy loads.


Now to go do it: I'll be be shortly......................
