I need some advice. I would like a bike rack that mounts to the hatch. Anybody have suggestions?
 
Agreed. I'd have to go with the hitch-mounted option.
 
I decided to go with a hitch mount option. After 3 months of use, I think it was the right way to go. It comes with a ski attachment that drops into the bike rack. It takes about a minute to put on and take off, so I can remove it during the week. It doesn't rob me of gas mileage. It doesn't mess up the nice curve of the roof line. Finally, i know with a roof rack I would drop something on the top eventually.

Which hitch did you use?

Hidden Hitch or one of the others?

I'm buying one within the next week, so I need to check it out.
 
I may be wrong but I think Hidden Hitch is the only one available so far.
 
Hidden Hitch #60999 i think.

The rack is by BVG Bauer Racks --i didn't care much for the Yakima or Thule models, as they didn't seem to integrate the ski rack with the system as well.
