    I'm after getting a hollywood "Express 3" bike rack for my 3dr astra hatch.....I got it fitted to the car following the video on the website but as went through the instructions later and found that it wasn't compatible with the car but a similar "Baja" model is.....should go back and order in the baja model or stick with the express...Thanks!

    Put it on the car and pull at it and wiggle it and etc etc. If it looks like it'll come off, take it back. If it feels sturdy, chance it. Just my opinion but..

    yeah worked out well...first went for an unladen trip of around 100km and it held on all right..then stuck the bike on it and it seems to be made for it....I recomend as a unviersal rack tbh...held up really well!

    I was looking at that exact one and i happen to have the same car. Did the metal clips do anything to the paint work?
