I'd like to fit a bicycle rack to my Kadjar. I occasionally will need to use it to take my kids for bike rides. I'm no professional. Few times a year. Would like to get a rear window bike rack. Any advice out there ?
Seems the Saris Ex-3 might do it. Halfords sells this in the UK. Anyone had any luck with it ? I always worry about messing up the top where the straps go into the car and the pressure the straps have on the top of the car. Either than or perhaps fit a tow bar just for bikes and go that route ? Appreciate any advice on the cheapest way to go but also a way that won't damage the car. Thanks

With this plastic wing on top of the rear window, I don't think it's an option. Better use a roof stand and if you'd prefer tow bar stand. (I've had such rack on my previous Sceinc and one of the straps rubbed the paint off under it)

Better use a roof stand , you can put 4 stands 2 in front two in the back to carry 4 bicycles.

Thanks very much for your advise. When I go camping, I need a roof box so that takes the roof out of commission. I could use the roof when not camping but then stuck when we do.

I'm guessing you don't have a tow bar? I use this option for my 3 bike Thule rack.
