I was given a bike rack by a neighbor and I'm eager to attach it to my Honda Odyssey. She didn't have any of the documentation on it, and it's different enough from my last one that I think a quick perusal of the manual might be in order. Trouble is, it has no markings and the Yakima site lists hundreds of past models to choose from to download manuals, and no pictures as far as I can tell.

The only clue I have is that some of the rubber hold-down straps are stamped "2008".

Does anyone have any idea what model it is? Or at least something that might point me in the right direction? Photo is attached. It's gray tubular metal with red handles on the 2 black pivot/hinges. It holds 3 bikes and in addition to clips for the edges of the door/hatch it also has some padded pieces on long straps which (I believe) go inside the vehicle, the door closes over the straps and the loose end of the strap cinches into the rack.

Thanks for any guidance!

I think it might be . . . Apparently the SuperJoe3 has been made since 2005 so the timeframe would be correct and as far as I can tell it looks like a match. I'll download the manual and check it out. Thanks!
