Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Chevy Cobalt with Rear Spoiler

Question:

I was wondering if this will fit over the rear spoiler on the Cobalt. It isnt a large spoiler but I want to make sure this will fit over without any problems.

Hollywood Racks recommends using the Hollywood Express 3-bike rack # HRE3 for a 2008 Chevy Cobalt that has the rear spoiler. You could also look at the Yakima HangOut # Y02638 which in another 3-bike option. The HangOut also works with most factory spoilers.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
