    Does the Yakima Bikerbar fit well in the back closest to the back window? or the Thule Bikerbar?

    I like Yakima its what I had on the roof of my civic, however looking at the hardware not sure if it fits..
    anyone got pics? Thanks! Tried to ask the bike thread but post was ignored and didn’t go anywhere.

    Dbl Cab, Short bed btw

    I have a Yakima Frontloader mounted on bed bars, allows you to lock it up plus you can still carry other items underneath.

    I have sold Thule since the mid 1980's and it is a superior company with superior products compared to Yakima.
    Simply put, Thule is OEM for VW, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Subaru, etc and have to be city crash rated and are TUV rated. No other rack company is of their level. 73% of Thule's market is in the EU, 24% in the USA.
    Thule boxes sold in the USA are made in Chicago. 99% of the car racks are made in Connecticut by solar powered robots per demand.
    Thule has a lifetime warranty to the original owner.

    Anyways, buy a rack that is a little more than you want to spend. Cheap bike racks are shitty.

    Every time I have researched a rack, roof box, etc and went and looked at Thule and Yakima I end up with Yakima. Contrary to eurowner, I think Yakima makes a better product and they also offer a lifetime owner iirc. Sorry I can't help with this bar specifically. I'm currently researching bed bar options too.

    That seems perfect for what I'm looking for. Will give it a look.

    It really is a convenient setup, you could pack camping gear or whatever you need underneath, I just happened to need a few boards on the way home from riding that day.
