Hi Edward, We're sorry to hear your carrier doesn't seem right! Yakima's HoldUp Bike carrier has a really solid Anti-Rattle device that should rigidly mount the carrier to your towbar. If your carrier is sitting crooked when the Hitch-Bolt is tightened, please remove the carrier asap and get in touch with our customer service team to troubleshoot as it may not be assembled/fitted correctly.
“The HoldUp2 seems to be an excellent bike carrier. Very simple to put together and loading bikes takes no time. The bikes seem stable and secure during transport and I like the included locks. Delivery from A1 was excellent, very easy experience and quick.”
“This is a very cleverly designed vehicle accessory. Relatively simple to install and load, it takes the worry out of bike transport, especially for bikes without a crossbar. Makes for easy packing and travel, and bikes are securely fastened. Recommended. We use ours in combination with another Yakima product, the Lightmate number plate holder with lights.”
