Bike mount

I am happy with Sea Suckers bike mount, fast and easy to install. Draw a lot of attention on roads too!

Great!... thanks for the pictures!

So... (a few questions, if you don't mind)...
- Do they seem secure?
- Is the bike stable while driving (no wobbling)?
- Is there any marring/scratching of the roof finish?

That's because they're wondering what happened to the poor guy who was on the bike when you ran him over

of course not too many convertibles with roof racks

looks cool though

Not concerned about forces damaging the roof mechanism then? BMW say nothing should be attached to roof/boot mechanism as it could bend things out of line.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, they seem to be very secure; i drive on highway at 100km/hr no strange sound heard. I need to be careful when placing the bike onto the roof, the spikes on the fly wheel might contact the roof so i need to put a thick towel on the roof before placing my bike.

i don't know yet, my bike weight about 16 lbs. I am not sure whether the roof can stand that kind weight in long run. By the way i use my bike only on weekend, drive to work and return home always at open top.
