We've never had a problem before when they were hooked through where they were meant to be hooked through, but suffice to say that my faith in bungies has been shaken. Looking around most tow bar mounted racks don't use bungies to keep the bike in place, so while I was thinking that making sure the plate is removed, buying some fresh bungies and using two to keep the bike down should do it, I'm now thinking a new rack might be a better option.
