"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve used these on a couple of hatchbacks that standard hooks just wouldn’t grab. Once installed, the rack felt way more secure, and I didn’t have to fight the straps to keep them in place. It’s a simple upgrade that solves a very real fit problem.""We value dependable solutions when our vehicle design makes rack setup anything but simple, and the Hatch Huggers SL give us the confidence to mount a Saris trunk rack on surfaces that traditional hooks can’t handle. By pairing this accessory with the proven construction of Saris’ trunk-mount systems, we gain a clean, customized fit even on glass hatch lines, squared edges, and plastic trim. The Hatch Huggers SL replace the standard hooks with soft, stable bumpers that anchor securely to the car without stressing delicate surfaces. Installation is quick—just attach them to the existing straps—and the rack stays firmly planted, protecting both vehicle and bikes on the drive."
