I have one that is this one or the equivalent 5 year old version:

It's not really rocket science, so I assume most any brand
that works the same will do fine. My car doesn't fit in the
garage with the rack on, so I only put it on when I'm
actually taking the bikes out. It will fold down to allow
the back to open, but I rarely use this feature.

Not sure that helped, but that's my $0.02.
