Excellent and prompt customer service! When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products. I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas! Thule: The instructions could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal. Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself! I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.

Ordered online, it shipped the same day. Received it 3 days later. There is a little assembly, but, pretty simple. It took me less than 15 minutes to install and no tools were needed. It is adjustable to be used on many different auto types, but, the instructions were very clear about how to adjust it to fit my 2011 Ford Edge. I have used it twice so far to transport my bike. There are a couple of items that are inherent in the design, not a flaw, but, you need to be aware of them. First, you can't use rear window wipers. Second, the back-up alarm goes nuts because it registers a bike less than 6 inches behind you (I tolerate it for the few seconds it takes to back out of my driveway or out of a parking lot). Third, there is a little flexibility, it is held on with straps and clamps, not bolts, so, it bounces a little when you go over bumps or make sharp turns, however, it holds the bike fast to the frame and stays on the car. I use mine to transport my bike on short trips around town to bike trails. On a long trip I would suggest checking that the straps remain tight from time to time during the drive.

Seemingly well-constructed and supported bike rack. It fits my 2018 Toyota Camry SE just fine and I haven't had any issues with sway or even feeling my bike while driving. I've only carried one bike on it and have used it a limited number of times, so I cannot speak on durability and longevity. Although you shouldn't open your trunk while the rack is attached, I have been able to do so with no issue (without the bike attached).

While getting a bike rack for a sports car isn't ideal, I really wanted to transfer my bike with my own car instead of borrowing my friend's pickup truck. After hours of trying to find a bike rack that would be good for my 07 Mustang, I decided to give this one a try and I gotta say, it has been pretty good so far. It fits very well over the factory spoiler. One of my biggest concerns I was worried about when ordering a rack for my Mustang was ruining the paint, but the feet on the legs haven't left one scratch. I have used this to transfer my bike at freeway speeds (up to 80 mph) on car rides that typically last an hour and my bike was perfectly secure throughout each ride. For extra security, I wrapped both bike wheels with a ratchet strap so the wheels and pedals wouldn't shift in transit. So far, I am very pleased with this bike rack for the price and quality. I would highly recommend this if you want a rack that is affordable and durable.

Ford Edge
Ford EdgeFits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.

2010 Chevrolet HHRThe side / bottom straps are seriously lacking. It has those straps you would find on a backpack, making it difficult to securely tighten down because of the angle. I'd usually have to pre-tighten them to a certain length, then forcefully shove the whole rack until it clipped onto my car. They really just need to be ratchet straps. Even then, one of the side straps came off while driving after hitting a small pothole and the whole thing dangled to one side - Luckily I was in a parking lot. I've also never been able to fit 3 regular bikes, only 2. It's really only a capacity of 3 if you have 2-3 slim bikes. The rubber is so wide that it makes it nearly impossible to slide certain bikes on. If you have a step thru bike with one of those crossbar adapters, I wouldn't even bother with trying this. Unfortunately I don't use this anymore since I'd be constantly worrying the whole thing will come off whenever I drive.

Mazda 6 Bike Rack Questions
- Yes the Thule Outway trunk mounted bike rack part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Mazda 6 and would work great.
view full answer... - For your 2015 Mazda 6, there is not a Class II trailer hitch receiver available, so any hitch mounted rack would limit you to the Class I restriction of 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes on your vehicle, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02633. This trunk mounted carrier is confirmed to fit your Mazda 6, and comes with the integrated security straps and cable to deter theft. The anti-sway cradles will keep your bikes from coming in contact...
view full answer... - For your 2012 Mazda 6, I recommend the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount, Item # TH911XT. This is a trunk/boot mounted rack that will hold three bikes up to 35 pounds each. The rack is designed to work around spoilers and to be easy to load.
To mount your kids and ladies bikes, you'll need a frame adapter bar for each one, part # 64005 to help the ladies bike ride level and to give the carrier an actual bar to grab onto on the kid's bikes. These telescope, so they'll...
view full answer... - Yes, according to Thule the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2011 Mazda 6 sedan. Thule has several 3 bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your car.
Gateway 3, # TH78VR
Passage 3, # TH910XT
Out of all of these bike racks, I think the Raceway 3 is the best choice. It is very light weight, under 19 pounds, and the retractable cables make it quick and easy to install. Out of all of the trunk mounted bike racks I have used, the OutWay has been the easiest to install. I...
view full answer... - For your 2011 Mazda 6 with rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top # HRF2-2 for two bikes or # HRF2-3 for three bikes. The Expedition has a long reach to go up and over the spoiler.
Other racks could potentially work but it really depends on the size and position of the spoiler. If you could email me a picture of the spoiler/back of the vehicle I can determine if other racks are likely to fit or not.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a...
view full answer... - According to Thule, the OutWay Platform-Style Bike Rack, # TH65JV, will fit the 2011 Mazda 6 sedan. It was also designed to work with most factory spoilers if your Mazda 6 has a spoiler. The platform-style bike rack certainly makes loading and unloading much easier, but it also makes for a heavy bike rack. This bike rack weighs 27.6 lbs and some customers have noted that it has dented their plastic bumpers.
For a lighter bike, I would recommend looking at the Thule OutWay Hanging...
view full answer... - The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier, # HRE3, would not accommodate the spoiler on your 2008 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Hatchback but I do have a solution. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3, which is specifically designed for hatchbacks with spoilers. This carrier provides hatch anchors and the longer top straps that are need to secure the upper portion of the rack to your Mazda 6.
If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative...
view full answer... - We do indeed offer some trunk mounted bike racks that would be compatible with your 2007 Mazda 6 equipped with a spoiler. The Saris Bones is a nice bike rack, but I don't care for the small feet, which concentrate the weight of the rack and bikes on a small area of the trunk lid. This can cause denting.
If it's a Sedan and not a Hatchback model, a good entry-level choice would be the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT. The rack's not long on frills, but the adjustable fit dial helps...
view full answer... - I checked with the manufacturer, Hollywood Racks, and can confirm that the Hollywood Racks Express 3-Bike Rack # HRE3 will fit your 2007 Mazda 6 with a spoiler.
Additionally, please note that if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give the bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO.
view full answer... - The Saris Bones # SA801BL in not a fit but the Saris Bones EX 2 # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Mazda 6 hatchback. It also works well with your spoiler. Check out the attached video to see all of its great features.
view full answer... - I recommend going with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV for your 2006 Mazda 6. This rack is unique in that it won't be in the way of your spoiler at all since it doesn't use arms to reach over a spoiler like almost every over rack does.
If you have any alternative, women's, or kids bikes then I recommend using the Hollywood Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO. This bar will help step-through frames to sit level and gain more ground clearance.
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT that you referenced will work on your 2006 Mazda 6 as long as it is not the hatch model.
As long as you keep the contact points of the rack and your car paint clean and you do remove the rack when not in use you should not have a problem with the paint of your vehicle getting scratched.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground...
view full answer... - The Hollywood Racks Expedition # HRF6-2 is a confirmed fit for your Mazda 6, but it would not be my first choice for you. Instead, for your 2006 Mazda 6 Hatchback the Hollywood Racks Over the Top Rack part # HRF2 would be exactly what you would need. This rack has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and was specifically designed for use on hatchback vehicles with spoilers like yours so it would work well.
view full answer... - The Thule Gateway trunk mount bike carrier # TH78VR is listed as a fit for sedan and wagon models of the 2005 Mazda 6 but is not a fit if you have a hatchback model. From the pictures I saw the spoiler appears to be fairly high and I am not 100 percent confident that the Gateway will be able to reach over that spoiler.
For your Mazda 6, provided it is a sedan or wagon, I recommend the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. This sturdy rack has anti-sway and dual adjustable arms to help...
view full answer... - It sounds like you have a hatchback or sedan model 2005 Mazda 6. If this is the case there are trunk mounted bike rack options for you.
Check out the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2. This rack is designed for vehicles with spoilers and should work very well for you. Check out the review video I attached for this rack also.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also...
view full answer... - I checked with Hollywood Racks and they have confirmed the fit of the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Carrier # HRF6-2 on your 2005 Mazda 6. They do say that your vehicle has a soft bumper so deformation is possible.
Because of that I would recommend you go with a hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch to start you would want the part # C11308. Since this is a Class I hitch you would be limited to carrying 2 bikes.
For a bike rack I would recommend the Swagman XTC2 bike...
view full answer... - I do have a way to carry bikes on your 2005 Mazda 6 Hatchback, but it is not with a trunk mounted bike rack. A trunk bike rack will not be able to be used on a 2005 Mazda 6 Hatchback model because the hatchback will not be able to carry the weight of a trunk bike rack.
I recommend to use a hitch like the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11308, along with the Thule Camber 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH9058. I am including links to the installation instructions of the hitch.

view full answer... - Since your 2004 Mazda 6 hatchback has a rear spoiler, the Express bike rack # HRE3 is not the best option since it does not offer the amount of adjustability needed to fit well around a spoiler. I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR. This rack was made to work with factory spoils like yours. I have linked a video review of it for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like...

Like all rear window mounted bike racks, this one has a 35 lbs capacity per bike. This bike rack weighs only 11 lbs so you won't have to worry about it damaging the rear of your car. It has adjustable arms and uses six straps to secure the rack to your Mazda.
