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.

2015 Subaru Forester
2015 Subaru ForesterEasy to assemble and attach to my 2015 Subaru Forester. I have been very pleased with the purchase. The bikes are fairly easy to load, although I have only had two bikes on at once (adult and teen-sized mountain bikes). Rack is secure when attached to car, as are the bikes to the rack. Longest car trip has been 3.5 hrs...no problems.

Perfect for my 2019 RAV-4. I like this product because it allows me to drive and park without having to worry about height clearances in the city and parking was still navigable. Definitely worth the money!

2016 Subaru Forester Bike Rack Questions
- The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount # TH910XT will work when using the manual trunk opening. The electronic opener has a sensor that causes it to automatically close when it senses any resistance and the weight of the carrier is enough to cause that sensor to automatically close the trunk when using that function. The manufacturer will tell you to remove the bike rack anytime you open the hatch, because they can't take any liability for a hatch closing on your head....
view full answer... - There are several 2-bike trunk mount racks that will work with the electronic liftgate option on your 2016 Subaru Forester. For a rack that is similar to the Passage you were looking at I recommend the Yakima HangOut # Y02637. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
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 # 64005. This will allow...

The best bang for you buck trunk rack is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02633 which has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Forester with or without the electronic tailgate.

view full answer... - Thule has determined that the OutWay 3 bike model, part # TH56BV is indeed a fit for your 2016 Forester, but it's not recommended that a trunk mount rack be used on Forester models with the hands free liftgate.
If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for...

view full answer... - Yes, your Saris Bones 3 bike carrier part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Subaru Forester. We confirmed this with Saris.
view full answer... - After looking through the Day6 website, when using the Yakima FullBack # Y02634, you will need to use a bike adapter bar like the Yakima # Y02531 to carry any of their bike models on any hanging or trunk mounted bike carrier. Generally speaking, unless the bike has a top tube (like most men's bikes) that is mostly parallel to the ground, you will need to use an adapter bar when using a trunk mount of hanging rack to carry your bikes.
