Brother has a Peugeot 3008. Cant fit a rear mounted bike carrier as the top of boot is a plastic spoiler.
Cant use roof bars as he is not the tallest.
Wont get a towbar as they are a ridculous high price.
Just thinking, the problem with the rear carrier is the straps cant go on the top of the boot. But what if there was something above them to attach to?
Transit vans and the like have roof racks that have a roller at the back for pivoting ladders etc. The car has integral roof rails so could easily fit roof bars to it and I am thinking (in my non engineering head) that there must be some way of extending an extension bar of some sort from the roof bars back to be level with the top of the boot and so the bike carrier could be attached to?
Mind back when roofracks were a thing, the ones that you used to fit to your Cortina and they were a rack? Maybe something like that principle, attached to the roof bars but mounted in such a way that the back bar is over the boot and could be clipped onto?
Anyone got any ideas? Must be some engineering brains here!
