With the many bike rack options, there's no need to put the bikes on the roof. The bike rack I have was purchased back in 1995, and is no longer availble, but Swagman has one that works very similarly. Check this out...









Still have full access to the rear hatch, even with the bikes still on the rack, and can still tow with this setup. FWIW, the bikes still clear a trailer even during tight turns. This beats having to juggle bikes up on a roof!
