    Oops. Didn't see this for a bit.... It isn't trimming the rear fascia as I think of it. It is the plastic underbelly part - that is not seen when you are not under the car. Very easy to do, as others have mentioned. I just used a utility knife. Nothing to fear!

    I must disagree. I have used the Thule, and I have used the Yakima version. They are both great racks. They are not the best, IMO. The biggest draw-back is the weight of the rack itself.

    The new Saris Thelma... while it does have some issues, is what I use now, after already investing many hundreds in the other racks.

    Yow! So where did it break (trying to figure out the picture)? The welds broke between the piece parallel to the length of the car and the cross bar?

    Talk to Coastal! They'd like to know, and maybe they'd even help you out...
