How do you install the bike rack on the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to install the bike rack on the Smart, you need to remove the entire rear panel: to do this, you will need to open the rear hatch and then detach the side panels of the rear compartment. The fixing screws that hold the panel in place will need to be loosened, and then the rivets and screws located at the bottom and inside the wheel arches will also need to be removed. Once the rear panel has been removed, you will be able to locate the hooks on which to attach the bike rack, which can then be properly secured.
