How do they keep the bikes over the tailgate from slopping around and falling over?

Not sure how it works so well but when you put the bikes over I would push down on them to make sure there set well and they never move. I still use it if when we ride around home and it’s by far the fastest and easiest way to carry them. Only problem with this way over a rooftop carrier is 4 bikes take a lot of bed space. Make sure with the pad to get the longest one you can so the bike doesn’t touch the tailgate, I went with the Yakima brand.
Presumably you mean the
Yakima Crash Pad but I notice the company now offers a much more expensive
Yakima Gatekeeper Pad ... not sure why there'd be such a large price difference. :h My '12 Silverado does have a rear view camera which I'd prefer to still use for hitching up even with the pad in place ... seems the Gatekeeper allows that but not sure if this is possible with the Crash Pad. :@
