This is the first car bike rack I've ever purchased. I've used it once on a multi-day outing where I had to rack and unrack our two bikes several times. The rack is easy to mount and easy to make very secure and tight. The materials appear to be of high quality. We bought the three-bike mount just in case and I'm glad we did. Understandably, the company cannot custom make the racks for every combination of bikes. I would really have to cram the bikes together to get three on there and it would be a problem with pedals getting into spokes. You really have to figure out how to fit the bikes on the rack as "girls'" bikes do not have a top tube. Once you get it down for your bikes, then you simply repeat the process. The directions that came with the rack are sub par in my opinion. The pictures are small and not clear. They could easily be improved and should be. A tip, once you mount the rack and adjust it where you want it, mark the knob splines (both halves) so you can set and tighten them before you mount the rack in the future so you don't have to keep finding just the right place. Also note that the rack does not have any locking mechanism for the bikes. I used additional straps to tie off wheels so they wouldn't rotate (steer left and right) and bang into things. And, keep in mind that you won't want to open and close the trunk while the bikes are mounted so plan ahead. Overall I am well pleased with the product and it serves our purposes well.Get more detail about Hollywood Racks E3 Express 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.
