I bought this 3 bike rack for myself, to mount on my Taurus and Mountaineer. I've never had more than one bike on it, always made sure the straps were secure (as secure as one can get), and always made sure the bike was secure to the rack (I used 2 extra bungee cords and a bike lock to make sure).
I managed to eek out a little over a years worth of use out of this thing. I did not have any problems with damage to my vehicles. I did, however, almost lose my bike, when one of the tiny little pins, held by plastic, gave way and one whole arm of the carrier fell off. I was going 70mph down the freeway when this happened (over smooth pavement). Fortunately, no one was hurt, and my bike was not damaged.
Like a previous poster commented... I'll never buy so much plastic again, and certainly won't be trusting this brand name. This rack was supposed to be able to handle the load of three bikes, and I never had more than one (Specialized Hard Rock Comp). I bought a hitch mount Yakima to replace it, and am much happier.Get more detail about Thule 962XT Speedway 3-Bike Trunk Rack.
