Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Had a rough start with the Sparetime. Very strong husband needed an extra measure of patience to get the tire to fit over the mount. It took two hours and we were literally about to repackage the product for return when we thought of one last appraoch. There is absolutely no wiggle room because of the RAV's unique lip combined with the Limited's rims. We had to basically lift the mount from the bottom with strong tape to convince the tire to fit over the mount and the lip. We could only get two screws through at first, but once we started tightening those two the third screw decided to cooperate and we were able to finish mounting the rack securely. We also had one strap break on the first use. However, a quick email to Yakima and we had a free replacement within a few days - no hassle at all. We have been using the rack for several weeks, including for a few long distance road trips. The bikes are completely secure and don't move an inch. We love it and even my husband admits it was worth the effort! But we better never get a flat tire because the mount is never coming off :-) So 4 stars because of that!
