This is going to be a trunk mounted bike rack. The part number is TH910XT. Now, we already have our bike loaded up. We first going to show you how we loaded up, and then will go over some features of the rack itself. We've got 2 cradles holding our bike in place with 3 straps, 2 on our frame, and then 1 as our anti-sway strap in the back. We're going to pull down and lift up to release those. Then, we'll be able to pull our bike off the rack. Set our bike off to the side, and we want to make sure we replace our straps, so we don't lose, or damage any of them when our bike is not loaded up. All right, with those in place we'll take a few measurements. Our first one is going to be our overall with our arm's hanging out in this position. We're adding about 23 inches to the back of our vehicle. Now, we do have the option to actually rotate our arms down and fold them away. We'll push in our buttons on either side, we'll be able to rotate until it locks in the place. Same for this side pushing our two buttons, rotate until it locks. Now, in this position, we can fold up those cradles a little bit. We're only adding about 14 1/2 inches to our vehicle now. Looking at how it's actually attached to our vehicle, we have two hooks up the top here that will latch around the top part of your cargo area. We have one hook at either side, and then one underneath, on each side. Now, how the top one secures we use the cam buckle right there, that's going to secure it down in the place. Then, we will just tie off our access. Here, we actually have a regular buckle there. It's actually attached, the side and the bottom strap are attached to each other, so you can loosen and tighten that however much you need. Then, to protect our vehicle, we have rubber pads here at the top and at the bottom. They're going to prevent any scratches or damage on your vehicle. With that, that's going to be our completed look at the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack, part number TH910XT, on our 2015 Dodge Dart. Here on our test course, we'll start by going through the slalom. This is going to show us the side to side action, which simulates turning corners, or evasive maneuvers. Once we get to the alternating speed bumps, we'll see the twisting action. This will simulate hitting a curb, or pothole, or driving over uneven pavement. Once we get to the full speed bumps, we'll see the up-and-down action. This will be just like driving in and out of a parking lot, garage, or driveway.
