How should I put a bike rack on a Honda CR-V?

Over the last year, my wife and I have gotten really into cycling. But we’re a little tired of biking around our area. We got a trunk-mounted bike rack from a local yard sale, but we aren’t sure how it should be put on the back of our Honda CR-V. What’s the best way to put a bike rack on a Honda CR-V?

Cycling is an awesome hobby to get into and can take you to fantastic new places!
To install your bike rack on your
Honda CR-V
:
  • Unfold or assemble the bike rack if it’s not together already.
  • Hold it up against your trunk and attach the hooks. Start at the top of your trunk’s lid, then work your way down.
  • Tighten all straps and hooks to ensure that the rack is stable.
  • Use one of your bikes to test the weight. If you want to be really thorough, take your bikes for a test drive on the back of your CR-V.
Now that your bike rack is mounted, you can enjoy your new hobby anywhere in the country. To ensure your car is protected wherever you go, download the
