Can you open trunk with bike rack?
Bike manufacturers don’t recommend opening the trunk with a rack as you could damage the trunk’s door hinges and bring the door down or scratch the painting. Remember, the door’s hinges are not meant to support the rack’s weight, and so the door could quickly come down if you forcefully open the trunk.

The Sherpa has one-piece trays that are much easier to attach to the main support arm.
