Not sure if you have sorted your bike rack now, just in case you may want to consider this one, Fiamma DJ bike rack twin rear doors / no drilling.

I have one fitted to my Peugeot and it is excellent, two adult bikes no problem. Very secure and very easy to use, allows you access to the back.

I had this fitted as part of the deal when I bought my van, but the price they would charge is in the link below, I'm sure you could source one cheaper.

The thing about this rack is you do not need to drill holes in the doors, also according to the dealer it is better than the bolted on rack as the weight is more evenly spread because it fits using side bars that fit over the edges of the door.

Sorry cannot find pictures of one.

On the link,

Click drop down box select bike racks, then look about half way down for the model I stated.

Fiamma one is just what we've been looking for as a bit reluctant to start drilling on the van.
There's a picture here

And of course you can keep it when you sell the van.

Hi.. we have a fiamma DJ200 fitted. Fits on the offside (right) hand door. Allows us to open the doors without taking off the bikes. We can also us it to carry other goods and will fit a Fiamma ( or other) back box.. I was relectant to pay the price at first but now proved a good buy. Plus as stated in another reply, can always be removed and sold seperate..

Rob,
I'm interested in this rack for my van. I've just received the Fiamma catalogue and it says 'no drilling EXCEPT for the security screws'
Do these actually go into the door? Also ours is a 1999 Peugot Boxer and the catalogue states for 2000 onwards, what age of vehicle is yours on?
I'ved emailed fiamma but had no responce so thought I'd try on here
Thanks
Jules

It is held by 2 bars that go across the door, they tighten up against the ends. It does state to drill one of the brackets through the door, but as yet i havent done that... Take a few mins to take off if we ever need to.. Will try and do a pic and download later...

After a 3 week trip to spain have now decided to get the ladder for the nearside door and fit a top box as well for some extra storage..

hi tonka, sounds like you're gonna be parting with a few quid then, but i'm sure it will be well worth it, especially for the longer trips.
no need to worry about piccy's of the rack for me thanks, i saw one today when i took my van in for it's first hab service, it was fitted to another fiat ducato and looked really nice..........................
