We have recently bought a new to us T6.1 and had the dealership fitted an OEM bike rack. We have noticed that the two longer attaching arms are a lot looser than the shorter two. When the tailgate opens they fall and touch the rear window. If I forget and not put them back they stop the rear...
But... A passing by opportunistic thief won't know there's flaw in the design of the Atera Strada DL3 and start taking the rack apart. They'll try the clamp, and quickly move on because it's "locked".
And yes, it is locked - very lightly - but it is locked.
If you think a rack that's bolted...

What’s the deal with bikeracks that clear the tailgate? It’s like I’m asking for a flying motorcycle —finding a straight answer is impossible! Honestly, it’s baffling that this is even a question. You’d think all tilting bikeracks would naturally avoid smacking into the tailgate, but nope...
I found the inner bike always touched the back of the van, even when it was a kids MTB. I had an old glove specifically to go on the end of the bar (cheap tilting four-bike rack from Halfords). On the new van, we have a tailgate mounted rack, so the bars go over the roof.
Hi, First post so go easy. I have lots of questions and not sure whether to post all separately or just as one? Just read some of the Hints and Tips thread and the don’t buy anything till you need it seems so true. Like a kid in a sweetie shop, want everything and want it now!

Not sure on the difference between the T5 & T6 racks, but you might be able to replace the bit that clamps onto the tailgate....

For sale is my genuine bike rack which was on the van when I bought it and it’s been hung up in my garage since
I have two keys and a security bit to fit the bolts
The proper tool for the bolts is around 15 pounds to buy
I’ve given it a clean and some bits are faded with the sun but it usually...
Just to throw another possible spanner in the works - make sure that you can still open the tailgate with a bike rack attached if you have a poptop. Some poptops aren't compatible with bikeracks even when closed and can be damaged, or prevent opening of the tailgate fully
I rarely lift it with a bike on but it’s ok with a road bike and the pop top down. It would definitely make contact between the handlebars and pop top if the roof was raised. Reimo roof for me, others may sit a little lower.
MTB handlebars, especially more modern wide ones would likely hit...
Hmm funny, bumped into this topic.

Hi folks,
It may be my poor searching ability on here, but can't see an answer to this question; has anyone fitted a tilting 'Advanced' Halfords towbar mounted bike rack on a T6 with barn doors, could you open the doors with it fitted, and was it any good please...
Just did a bit of googling...
The T5 bike rack is part # 7H0 071 104
The same style for the T6 is part # 7E0 071 104 B (this is the version 2 rack)
The other T6 bike rack is is part # 7E0 071 104 (this is the version 1 rack)
Got the info from here...
