    Wow, what impresses me is that someone actually sat down and designed this with this car in mind....I guess there was enough interest from 458/488 owners.

    Well, that's the prettiest 488 I've seen.

    That's so funny --- I take it that the back windscreen of the GTC4L is not sloped/raked for one to go on and not come flying off at higher than avg speeds....

    No issues with weight on glass I suppose? Did you get ok / input from dealer?

    That was my first thought. Both bikes shown, though, look like full carbon jobbies (and road bikes, at that) so they probably weigh about the same as a thimble full of gnats. My full sus mountain bike, on the other hand, is around the 30lbs mark. Not sure I'd want that brute stressing my glass.

    It's very cool I would not put anything other than a carbon bike on it

    Here is a shot with my mountain bike on. It is pretty old and heavy.

    The way the bike is attached to the glass is the same method that the glass is installed and removed. If for some reason the bond is inferior you'd be out the bike, the glass and damage to the bodywork. Admittedly a small chance but still a risk.
