Also having "vertical" sheet metal there and sometime's that messes with your signal field. I think it would be out of the way enough to not bother me loading stuff in but at the same time I use the rear door alot more than the hood so the chances of wearing stuff or knocking something is alot more at the rear. It shouldn't hinder access as the bracket has that little bend in it to push it away from the door "gap". I'll probably just end up leaving it up front
