Today, on our 2014 Chevy Sonic, we'll be test fitting the Yakima Stickup Platform
Style 2-Bike rack, part Y02420. We'll begin our test fit by sliding the shank of
the bike rack into the opening of the hitch. After lining up the pin holes, we'll thread
our anti-rattle bolt through the pin holes and tighten it down with a wrench. With the
bike rack secured, we'll go over a few clearance measurements and see how the two
fit together. With the platform in the up position, we have about 14 inches of ground
clearance. The closest part of the bike rack to the closest part of the vehicle is about
2 inches away, and we've added about 11-1/2 inches to the overall length of our Sonic.
We'll now pull out on the red *** at the base of the bike rack and tilt the platform
down. With the bike rack in this position, we have about 16 inches of ground clearance.
The closest part of the bike rack to the closest part of the vehicle is about 4-1/2 inches
away, and we've added about 33 inches to the overall length of our Sonic, and also
with the platform down, you can see that we can easily access the trunk. Now, we're ready
to load our bike.
