The rack attaches to the adapter plate with a hand knob and threaded bolt. The hand knob includes a Thule One Key System lock for locking the rack to your vehicle.

Spare Me features sliding T3 cradles with No-Sway Cage accessories.

The cradles also feature rubber straps to keep the bikes firmly in place.

The rack's dual arms provide great bike support and stability. You can fold down the arms when they are not in use by loosening a pair of side-mounted knobs.
