Number plate not obscured by mine.
And it's questionable whether the lights are obscured.
I don't take out the RW fuse - I just don't use the rear wiper when on.
If I accidently switch it on, it just comes to a stop at point of contact.
It'll re-set itself back to it's normal position when rack is off.

Looks good. Is it this 'advanced' high level three bike carrier at £79.99?

Affraid it's none of these.
It's an old boot rack that I've adapted to fit on all my vehicles over recent years.
Had it on a booted saloon, a Hatchback and also the D3.
Quite simple - 4 point surface contact [suckers] secured and tensioned N, W, S, & E by using straps with protected metal 'U' brackets.
eg 2 top of tailgate [1 x each side],1 x either side of glass frame & 1 at bottom of [top] tailgate
Also has security cable to prevent thieves nicking.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Looks good. I might just try a Halfords one and see how I go.
Cheers. Is the number plate blocked from view? I know the lights will be a bit but what about the number plate? Oh, and I presume the fuse needs to come out as the rear wiper arm would break if used?
To be honest I haven't put bikes on it in earnest yet, but didn't seem to block the plate when I tried them.
Yes, thst is why you have to take the fuse out as the wiper would be stopped by the rack and I don't want to risk burning the motor out!

My rear wiper operates automatically if the front wiper is on and I select reverse
