FRONT hood mount bike rack?

[wrumbarger]

Howdy all

I was driving in McLean, VA (NoVa) and saw briefly (on a smart going the other direction on the highway) a RED Cabrio with a "Bones" style bike rack mounted on the FRONT HOOD (access panel)? ? ? ?

Anyone on this forum?

Seems to me that panel would be way to flexible for this application?

OMG, that is dangerous. How could you see ahead?

I guess if it were mounted into the tow hook receivers it would work.

My understanding, although I have not seen it, is that there is a second pre- drilled and threaded tow receiver hole under the plastic bonnet. A2Jack

Actually, if this smart is towed behind an RV, that might be a good place to haul bikes and then when you need to drive the car, just pull the bikes off. The rack should not obstruct driving.
