If rear luggage carriers for bicycles (max. 4 bicycles, equivalent to 75 kg) are mounted, it is required to relieve the
tailboard. This is achieved by propping up the rear luggage carrier on the rear bumper. Afterwards, the hatchback lid
hinges need only to carry the horizontal force component, thus preventing that the rear luggage carrier is tilting to the
back. Since the currently available hatchback lid hinges (figure 2) are being used, it is no longer necessary to relieve the
tailboard by propping it up on the rear bumper. However, this option is still possible. Since the great product upgrading
(January 1996), new bumpers are in use which may no longer be used for supporting the rear luggage carriers, due to
their construction, but which is, however, no longer necessary. A fatigue loading of the rear bumpers may lead to
permanent bumper distortions!

Note:
With the introduction of the currently available hatchback lid-hinge version, the air gap between roof and opened
tailboard was considerably reduced. To prevent the top holding clamps of the rear luggage carrier from pressing onto the
roof if the tailboard is being opened, it is required that they can be mounted directly next to the hatchback lid hinges!
Depending on the equipment scope of the tailboards (i. e. weight), appropriately strong gas springs are used. Within the
scope of a subsequent retrofitting, the tailboard weight may increase, so that the tailboards then no longer can be opened
up to the top limit-stop. The following table will help you to select appropriate gas springs.
