Don't be that one on the road with the wobbly bike-rack because of an improper installation. Drive with confidence and reduce the sway and extra rocking of your rear hatch bike-rack with Saris Hatch Hugger. The bumper section of the strap mounts inside the cab, pinched against the ceiling and the rear hatch for a secure fit. The strap then gives vertical tension on the rack for added stability when traveling so you can protect your valuable cargo.

Easy to use
I needed these for our Lexus RX450. They work great keeping direct pressure off the rear spoiler. They are easy to use.

Great design!
We so appreciate the design and quality of the Hatch Hugger bicycle rack straps! They secure the rack without tearing up the edges of the hatch and hold it securely in place.

Do the job as designed
This was recommended by the online car rack fit guide. Works great with the 2019 5 door S2 Mini, since it helps the new bones model relieve pressure on the rear spoiler.

Nothing Less Than Superb
Listen! I'm Oh So PLEASED That This Product Was Made In America To Start. I Thought I'd Struggle With It At First Because I Was Intimidated By All The Straps But Thank Goodness For Instructional Videos Which Made It So Simple Afterwards. Wow Is All I Can Say. My Cannondale (Bad Boy 3) Fits Perfectly And I Really Don't Think Another Rack Can Compare. MY HONEST OPINION.

Suggest not making this optional accessory
Why have this as an optional accessory? Include with all bike rack purchases.

Does the job, simple application
I got the hatch huggers to accompany my new bones rack, to switch between the two cars in my household. Just had it on over the weekend for a couple hour drive and they worked great. Easy to install and even as the rack shook a bit in the wind, it was stable the whole way through.

Easy to use on vehicles without lip on tailgate
I have two cars where the bike rack will not attach to bottom trunk/hatch as there is no ip for attachment. Easily installed and tightens securely.

I would buy this product again
I just got my rack and all the accessories and almost returned these because it didn't seem like I needed them. I'm glad I kept them because it made me feel better about driving 85 mph on such a long road trip with my bike on the back.

How long are the straps attached to the hatch huggers?
June 30, 2021
BMW X1 does not seem to have a fit with the Bones ex 3. Top rear lip of the car is plastic and may damage with Bones ex 3 straps, or be pulled off. Will hatch huggers work? What is the length of them? I may use a roof bar with hatch huggers.

The metal brackets that attach to my car are leaving scratching is there anything I can do about that?

Hi - I just purchased a Saris Bones Ex 3-bike for a 2019 Subaru Forrester. The Fit Guide requires Part #3035 Hatch Hugger. Two questions please: 1) how many Hatch Huggers do I need; 2) will the rack with Hatch Hugger support the 105 pound weight limit?
April 14, 2021
I purchased Bones EX-3 Bikes and Hatch Hugger. On the packet of Hatch Hugger says “Maximum capacity-two bikes/70 lbs.” Can Hatch Hugger handle 3 bikes as well?

Are hatch huggers compatible with saris solo? If so how do you change the straps?
