Product Details
Universal Glass Hatch Hooks by Yakima®. These adapters are used in place of the upper hooks when installing a Yakima trunk mount bike rack to a vehicle with a glass or plastic hatch. They are installed so the round pads are trapped inside the vehicle when the hatch is closed, with the straps passing through the opening over the top of the hatch, where they can be attached to the bike rack.

Some vehicles are equipped with glass or plastic hatch panels. The metal hooks on Yakima trunk mount bike rack straps should not be attached to these panels or a spoiler, as this could damage the vehicle. Instead, during installation, remove the buckles from the rack's upper straps. Open the hatch and hang the padded anchor ends of the straps inside the hatch opening and shut the hatch so the anchors are trapped inside and the anchor straps extend outside over the top of the hatch. Attach the buckles and install the bike rack. When the straps are tensioned, the anchors will prevent them from pulling free.
Glass Hatch Hooks are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
