Remember to follow weight limits and tie-down long loads.
NOTE: ANY LOAD EXTENDING OVER THE WINDSHIELD (EXCEPT YAKIMA CARGO BOXES) MUST BE SECURED TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE CAR, AND TO THE RACK ITSELF.
*More than 2 bicycles create enough leverage on the Wheel Tray to make
the longer crossbar spread necessary.
