Question:
Will #TH9007XT work on my 1999 volvo v70 wagon with its full glass window

According to Thule, any of their 3 bike trunk mount racks will fit your Volvo. Between the Gateway, # TH9007XT and the Archway, # TH9010XT, the bike racks are very similar. The main difference is that the Archway comes with a passive anti-theft strap that the Gateway does not come with. Both bike racks are light weight and would fit your Volvo.
But I recommend the Thule Raceway 3, # TH9002. What makes this bike rack a cut above the rest are the retractable cables it uses to mount to the vehicle instead of straps. The cables make installation and removal quick and easy. The bike rack can also be locked so the cables cannot be retracted or pulled out on either side. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video review of this bike rack for you.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works.
