I saw there was a similar thread but didn't want to fork that one since my question is a little different:

I've got a 1985 300TD Wagon that I want to put a hitch mounted bike rack on (I see a lot of these bike racks on craigslist but not a lot of the roof racks....any maybe these are more convienient anyway). These racks swing-away so they hopefully work OK with the wagon door. Anyway, I don't have a hitch on my wagon but:

- What are my options?
- Besides going to the Dealership, where do I buy one?
- can I put it on myself (moderately mechanical here).
- Also, the other tread referred to a bumper mounted hitch but that doesn't sound good to me since the bumpers are fairly weak (maybe I'm wrong?).

Thanks ahead of time for any advice. -Harv
