This is a custom-built rack that I had made for my short (but quick) Suzuki GTI. It disassembles conveniently and the The of the hitch has a 5cm thick rear bumper pad. It very worked perfectly for not just my 17’ canoe and occasional lumber purchases. I have sold my little Suzuki Swift GTI and now drive an equally quick Mini Cooper S. Sadly it only allows for a central hitch which this Mini doesn't have. So, it’s for sale.
