Question:
Will the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH9006 fit my 2008 Saturn Sky?
asked by: Mary
Expert Reply:
Your best bet would be to install a hitch and use a hitch-mounted bike rack, as none of the trunk-mounted bike racks that we offer are compatible with your 2008 Saturn Sky.
I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Receiver, part # 24833. We have several racks with a two bike capacity that are compatible with a Class I receiver. I would recommend the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360, along with the locking anti-rattle hitch pin, part # S64029.
To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.
