User questions & answers

Question:	Does the arm fold down when not in use
Answer:	No, these are heavy duty(commercial grade) sheet pans
Question:	Does it only swing out to the right side as you are facing it? Or can it be made to swing either direction
Answer:	No, they are just aluminum.
Question:	Will this fit my FJ Crusier that has a spare tire on the back
Answer:	Not reusable. They are like the thermacare heat wraps. Same concept. I would say not compostable.
Question:	Will this work on a 2017 ford f
Answer:	Hi, I'm no sure what the heating material is. Honestly I suck as reading ingredients and instructions lol. I just bought it and tried it and it worked REALLY well. I know however though that its not harmful. Place it over the underwear on the base of your belly, that way it's not harmful to the skin.

Product description

The Heininger Advantage SportsRack glideAWAY2 Deluxe 4 Bike Carrier is a rear-oriented bike carrier for vehicles utilizing hitch receivers. It allows full access to the rear interior of the vehicle without having to remove the bikes or the carrier. Designed around an accordion style folding mechanism, the glideAWAY2 deluxe can extend up to 23 inches away from its locked position next to the vehicle. This makes it perfect for use with hatchbacks. It can also swivel either left or right when extended, allowing for even more space to reach cargo. The glideAWAY2 utilizes an anti-wobble device and an adapter to fit both 2-inch and 1.25-inch hitch receiver sizes. The glideAWAY2 deluxe four bike carrier eliminates the agony and irritation often experienced with other rear mounted carriers when having to take your bikes off every time you want access to your vehicle from the back. It is designed to hold up to four bicycles with 1-2 inch top frame tubes. The ingenuous accordion style folding arm construction of the glideAWAY2 allows it to be pulled away from your vehicle with the simple lifting of the handle of its spring loaded safety latch, located behind its main upright support post. This instant 23 inches of additional space gives you easy, convenient access to the cargo area of your vehicle anytime you need it. When finished with cargo, the glideAWAY2 pops easily back into a secure locked position just by pushing it back towards the hitch receiver and allowing the latch to snap back into place. The glideAWAY2 bike carrier also glides from side to side accommodating vehicles with rear side opening doors and allowing for more space around the hatch of your vehicle when you need it. The folding carrying arms simply rotate out of the way when rack is not in use. Extra-long saddles also conveniently swivel around the tubing to accept women's, BMX, and complex geometry frames.

• Adapter with anti-rattle device included to fit 2 inch or 1.25 inch receiver hitch
• 2 year warranty
• Folding carrying arms simply rotate out of the way when rack is not in use
• Reflective bike arms hold up to 4 bikes
• Extra long advantage saddle straps hold bikes securely without scratching the bike's finish

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the truck tailgate be lowered with the back rack mounted
Answer:	The bike rack will adjust to allow more space for your tailgate to be lowered when this bike rack is attached.
Question:	Will this rack actually hold 2 adult and 2 kids mountain bikes? The video only shows 2 adult bikes being hauled so I am a little skeptical
Answer:	I've had 3 adult bikes on the rack. 2 adult and 2 kids bikes should be OK. Be aware that putting 3 or 4 bikes on the rack puts a lot of weight on the very rear of the vehicle, making the front lighter. The handling may be affected. Also, the weight makes the rack scrape on the ground when going over a dip.
Question:	I have a fat tire ebike. The top bar is not straight. Would this rack hold my bike
Answer:	We have several bikes and some with non-straight top bars work at an angle, others need a top bar, like the Allen sports adapter bar. I would not recommend this if your fat bike is a high end fat bike, because it wears the paint where it clamps on the bike (another good reason for the adapter bar). I know I plan to get a wheel rack when I get my full suspension.
Question:	Can this be used with a pick up truck
Answer:	Yes, I have used it with my truck. If memory serves, I was able to open the tailgate just fine (when its in the "out" position that is).

Question:	Will this work with little kids bikes? Do womens bikes require the crossbar adapter or is it optional
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in Sea Eagle Boats. yes, these paddles will float for a short amount of time, until they fill with water.

Answer:	Thank you for your interest in Sea Eagle Boats. It is the same paddle as in our SE370 Deluxe and Pro.
Question:	How is the helium pro different than helium aero 3 durability wise
Answer:	I think the ab25s go with the motormount inflatable models and the ab30s go with some of the nonmountable models? I can say that I've got two nonmountable inflatable kayaks (Sea Eagle and Sevylor) of different sizes and slightly different girths; the ab30s work just fine.
Question:	do 3" wheels fit on this rack
Answer:	I would say that the picture is not very accurate. It is actually more orange/gold, like a redfish. I think it’s very pretty. I really like mine. Sorry I can’t show you a picture.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a 2019 rubicon 4 doors with rear camera does it fit
Answer:	Thanks for checking with Thule. Regretfully not with the Rear Camera.
Question:	How does this carrier adjust for an off-center spare tire? The center of my spare tire sits about 5 inches to the right of center
Answer:	Yes, it does adjust for off center spare tire, but if the spare tire is not that much off center, I found out that it is better to just change the direction the way my bike faces to achieve optimal centering. I have a 2008 Toyota RAV4 with a spare tire that sits just a bit off center. I found out that if you shift the carrier itself to try to compensate for the off center spare tire the bike was not as centered as I wanted, rather I kept the carrier centered on the spare tire and I just changed the direction the way the way the bike was positioned.
Question:	Does anyone know if this might work with a 2004 Honda CRV? Thanks
Answer:	I found these reviews on Thule's website, regarding the 2001 and 2002 CRVs. I have a 2005 CRV, and this appears to be our best option for a bike rack. I am concerned about the off-center wheel though - http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/spare-tire-bike-carriers/thule-spare-met-963pro-_-963pro
Question:	I have a Jeep Wrangler with oversized spare tire that is 33"x12.5" wide will the rack accomodate for that extra depth
Answer:	I have the exact same set up -- '13 Wrangler w/ 33" x 12.5" Hercules Trail Diggers -- and I use this rack. I like it. Don't listen to this person saying "yes, but it will only carry one bike." It carries two and that statement doesn't make any sense.

Question:	Is it set up already for the hanging files
Answer:	Hello, the Alex drawer its not going to hold your gaming desktop, but you can use the Linnon/Alex, that it is the same Alex drawer with a Linnon table and two legs, with that you will be able to hold your gaming desktop
Question:	Is this cabinet exterior made from metal or wood
Answer:	yeah was going to get a desk from ikea that had these same drawers along with a 55 inch counter top total price was $166 and the drawers r $75 but i dont have a ikea store where i live and so they wont deliver to my address and saw that amazon is selling their products but double or triple in price and was told they only deliver if u have an ikea store cause they do private deliveries only and dont use fedex or ups
Question:	There is an Erik filing cabinet on the IKEA site that looks like this for only $99! Why would Amazon charge
Answer:	Hello,the inner dimensions of the first two drawers are ;Length: 20 in Width:12 1/2 in High:2 1/4, and the others three drawers the dimensions are: Length: 20 in Width:12 12 High:4 1/2, and yes it will fit the paper.

Question:	What are the inner dimensions of the drawers? Will they fit 11x17 paper
Answer:	25mm in length of screw
Question:	Do they comes in pair or do you have to pay for another one
Answer:	These are not bright brass. Unlike true brushed brass, these don’t have that rough texture which is why I think they say both. (Have you ever felt brushed nickel that feels gritty??) These are smooth but not the highly polished brass popular in the late 80’s. Very pleased - modern and nice to the touch. Haven’t had them up long enough to tell how they will wear but the certainly accomplished the look I was going for.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the pin size
Answer:	Don't know but make sure you are inserting into a 2" hitch..... think they are all the same size.
Question:	how do you put a womens bike on this rack
Answer:	Our bike rack is black.
Question:	What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack? I've never used a hitch rack before
Answer:	the lowest point at the back of the rack is 4.75 inches higher than the bottom of the tube that goes into the car hitch
Question:	What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms
Answer:	None of our racks are approved for use on a trailer mounted receiver hitch. Any trailer or trailered vehicle (including 5th wheel type) has a slight side to side motion that's very low frequency (1 to 1-1/2 times per second) that fatigues the steel from which the racks are manufactured. The fatigue first happens at a molecular level, but eventually (several thousands of cycles later) a visible crack will appear. Once the crack has formed, it will enlarge, finally to the point where the rack drops off the vehicle and the rack (and bikes) impact the roadway. This is also a dangerous situation for whoever may be following the trailer on the highway. We have seen 100+ incidents where the consumers/end user has not taken this advice and suffered disastrous results. I've even had phone calls from consumers who said they read that advice (do not use on a trailer) and ignored it, only to discover a tragic end result. So . . . don't do it. If you insist on doing it regardless of the above, please use some other companies’ rack.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be tilted with the bikes loaded
Answer:	I purchased the 4 bike version and even by itself, it is extremely heavy. It is made out of steel and not aluminum. If the bikes were loaded and you trigger the tilt, it would be very difficult to raise back up. I would not recommend tilting the 4 bike version fully loaded. I presume the two bike version is lighter of its own accord and then it is the weight of the bikes...
Question:	how wide is the rack? it looks like it sticks out past the edges of the car and cant be folded when not in use
Answer:	My rack measures 70 inches for my bike length. The wheel frames cannot be folded up. The rack can be shortened to 56 inches when not in use by sliding the wheel frames in.
Question:	Will regular road bikes with narrower tires work on this rack
Answer:	Of course this is a great rack. I personally have a ebike and a mountain bike that both have 2.5 inch wide tires but I've hauled a friends road bike and there's no movement or bouncing. To whom it may concern this is a yes or no question. Might or might not doesn't work for this question. If you haven't hauled a road bike then please don't guess.
Question:	Will this car bike rack rust
Answer:	I have no idea, but you can buy a Hiroumer bike cover which will protect your bike and your car bike rack well.
