Bike carriers for rear Elgrand...

They always give me the heebie jeebies when I see the racks strapped to the tailgate, when I had a small hatchback car, I always used to cut up a sponge kitchen cloth to put the hooks on top of.

If it's something @woodenspatulas decides he wants to investigate, I suspect we would both be looking for a tow bar rack in the first instance.
How did you get on?
 
Do you know where to buy the Elgrand brackets?
Mine is an E51 S2 XL and I believe the XL is the only model that does not require bottom brackets...... I have driven 100s of miles with 2 or 3 bikes on the back without any issues. As someone has said, the laws of physics just keep everything in place. I have probably made a couple of marks on the rear roof spoiler but nothing that would really concern me. I am not sure if it just me, but I leave the carrier on 100% of the time, bikes or no bikes - and it is mostly no bikes.
 
Thanks. It’s almost impossible to source them :)
 
anyone know of an alternative bike rack for the Elgrand e51 , the thule 973 is now obsolete?
 
Where did you purchase the bike rack. Thanks
Amazon - but looking back I think it was in like 2020 before they became rare. Ebay probably your best bet for a used one
