So you sell a rack that is advertised to fit 20-29" wheels and tires unless you own a legit mtb. then you force your customers to buy a flimsy adapter that has horrible reviews. I am a CNC programmer in the aerospace industry and i can engineer a better alternative than you are offering your customers. My advise, fire your engineer and find one with a brain and engineer a legit thru axle alternative for those of us who own real bikes. I am currently engineering one myself and will definitely outsell your "adapter" in a matter of minutes. cmon guys, i am a long time yakima customer and am disappointed. do better

I've used the Forklift on a '13 Outback, '16 Audi Q3 and now a '20 Q3. Factory crossbars for all three cars. There was no interference with opening the sunroof window on either of the Audis, listed as a potential concern by Yakima. There was some interference with the rear hatch door on the '20 Q3, but reducing the opening angle a few degrees addressed that. As others have noted, reducing overall length would not hurt things any. I've carried both road and mountain bikes from NJ to NH and WV at highway speeds with no problems.

I spent part of the afternoon fitting a ForkLift to my SUV, which has flush side rails, RidgeLine Towers, and JetStream crossbars. Yakima says this rack "fits nearly every crossbar right out of the box" but the fit to Yakima's own Jetstream bars is horrible. The front attachment is acceptable but sloppy (much worse than ForkChop, for example, which is pretty good). The back attachment, whether in the standard position or reversed, at most has a single section of contact with the crossbar on top and on bottom. This rack probably fits a bunch of round, square, and factory crossbars nicely, but on Yakima's own high end system, it fails. I'm very disappointed and will return the product tomorrow.
