For coupe drives that bike

What bike rack do y'all use? I have a trunk mount that works. But it doesn't keep the bike far enough from the car to keep the bike from rubbing the rear bumper. I've found a solution for the pedal, old thick socks. But my bike is still rubbing on the bumper from the bike's front shocks.

Luckily, the damage that has been done can be buffed out, but I know if I keep mounting the bike there, it will ruin the paint and possibly the bumper.

There was a thread on this subject last week. Should be easy enough to find using the search function.

Thanks already found it. Not what I'm looking for. So I'll continue my search elsewhere.

What are you looking for? I work in a bike shop and have experience with most rack brands. I prefer Yakima for roof racks and Kuat for hitch. Sea suckers work pretty well too for occasional use. In the summer I use my rack almost every day.

I run a semi-custom Yakima Q Tower for mine - I had to retrofit a few different parts to get it to work, but it holds pretty good (for boards and bikes). I'll see if I can find the part numbers for you, if you're interested.
