            Sturdy, well made, very securely holds the bikes. Folds up nicely to fit into the trunk while you are out riding. Remember to pack a tape measure in your gear bag to get the proper angle between the braces.

            Comments about Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Trunk Bike Rack:

            Fits nicely on a 2003 Volkswagen Golf GL.

            This rack takes a little time to install. Most of my time was spent reckoning with the rubber straps. I wish they were nylon pull straps so they wouldn't be so difficult to seat over the buttons.

            I anticipate this might scratch the car a little, but what bike-rack doesn't? The pressure points are bound to cause some issues. That just seems to be a fact. Maybe some gorilla tape on the hooks and a folded towel on the lower brace would eliminate that.

            Other than that, I really like this. I think it sits well on the hatch. It feels very solid and it hold the bikes very nicely. The bikes felt very secure in place and once those rubber straps seat all the way over the buttons, they feel very secure.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Trunk Bike Rack:

            This product is extreamely dissapointing. I bought it because it was supposed to be one of the best, but it falls short. The only redeaming quality is that it is highly adjustable, but other than that, it is junk. Several of the rubber straps that hold the bike on fell off while I was driving the first time I used it. The rubber straps that hold the folded up nylon truck straps after you tighten them down broke the first time I used it. It is heavy and poorly designed. I would look elsewhere for a trunck rack.

                  Changed cars and had to upgrade from the Super Joe. This is a solid and very stable rack. It is super easy to fit and remove and put on as the mood strikes. Plus, it has a built in bottle opener. Too bad I rarely use bottles!
