Oh No!
If you ever wonder should I take that bike rack off when not in use the answer is YES! My daughter drove to NYC from New Jersey.Parked the car in a garage where they park it for you.On return the rear windshield is broken due to the bike rack not being noticed.They offered to make all repairs and deliver the car to her house.Sounds good we will see.She took a train to my house and one of my cars.And yes I took my bike rack off my car.
