I've always been afraid of using such a rack because I'd have to lift the bike up and place it close to what appears to be the center of the vehicle.

My fear is that I would miss the fork post and the forks would land on the glass or some other part might scratch the car while loading or unloading.

Do you use a step ladder?
How do you steady the bike (especialy the tandam) while loading?
