FAQs
Can I open my trunk with the rack installed?
No, you should not open your tailgate while the MENABO Stand Up rack is loaded with bicycles, as the weight can damage the vehicle's hinges or the rack itself.
Does this rack come with a lock?
The standard unit includes mounting straps, but security cables or padlocks for the bikes themselves are typically sold separately.
Will this scratch my car paint?
The rack features protective rubberized hooks to prevent damage. Always clean the contact areas on your vehicle before installation to remove grit that could act as an abrasive.
Is it compatible with e-bikes?
You must check the weight capacity limits of the rack. Many e-bikes are heavier than standard bicycles and may exceed the load rating of tailgate racks.
How do I know if it fits my vehicle?
Consult the MENABO compatibility guide for your specific vehicle make, model, and year to confirm the tailgate geometry is supported.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels loose or sways during transit
Check the tension of all mounting straps and ensure the hooks are seated firmly on the edges of the tailgate.
Bicycle frame does not fit into the cradle
Use a frame adapter bar to level out the bike frame if it has a non-standard shape or high crossbar.
Difficulty closing the tailgate with rack attached
The rack is designed to be attached to a closed tailgate. Do not attempt to operate the tailgate while the rack is loaded with bikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rack, begin by cleaning the contact points on your vehicle's tailgate where the hooks will attach to prevent paint damage. Adjust the support arms to the width of your specific bike frames before tightening the main tensioning hardware. Always cross-check your vehicle's compatibility list provided by MENABO, as the rack geometry relies on specific tailgate edges.
For care, wipe down the rack with a damp cloth after use, especially if traveling in coastal areas where salt spray may cause corrosion. Ensure all moving parts, such as the folding hinges, are kept clear of debris. Before every long trip, inspect all rubberized grips on the hooks for wear and tear; if these grips are damaged, they should be replaced immediately to prevent scratching the vehicle's paintwork.
