This sounds like what I am looking for. Maybe it's just the models I
have seen but none of these kind of rack can handle or support dual
suspension bikes.
I also have a sedan (4 door) not hatch. In addition, the bikes we got
are not high-end but Costco brand so they are freaken heavy. We did a
simulation of mounting the bike on the roof and the bikes were very
heavy and definitely awkward to handle. Too risky to chance damaging the
new car.
Me thinks that maybe I should scrap the entire idea?
