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.

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.

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).

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.

Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier Review - 2012 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2012 Subaru Impreza, we'll be test fitting the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier. This is a trunk mounted bike carrier, part number TH9006. Now after setting up the bike rack as indicated in the instructions included with the bike rack, we're ready to fit it to the vehicle. We'll place the bike rack so that the bottom arm is resting on the rear bumper. We're holding that in place. We'll take our two top straps and hook them in the opening between the rear deck lid and the top of the vehicle.
Subaru Impreza Bike Rack Questions
- There are some great options for bikes to use with your 2020 Subaru Impreza, but unfortunately the Thule OutWay Platform 2 # TH65JV is not compatible with your vehicle. For a rear-mounted bike rack that fits your vehicle, I recommend the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL. This bike rack installs easily using padded hooks that latch onto the rear hatch of your vehicle.
Depending on the frame style of your bikes, you might need an adapter bar to use the bikes with the Saris...
view full answer... - We have a trunk mounted bike rack that fits your 2018 Subaru Impreza but the Malone Runway 3 # MPG2142 will not fit with the spoiler. The rack you need is the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633! This will mount up to your Subaru Wagon even if it has a spoiler!
view full answer... - For your 2018 Subaru Impreza we have the Yakima Fullback 2 bike rack part # Y02634 which is a confirmed fit and the rack I recommend. I really like this rack because of the wide pad between the rack the vehicle to help distribute the weight of the racks and the bikes. It also comes with locks for the bikes and the rack.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter...
view full answer... - For your 2018 Subaru Impreza, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. This trunk-mounted rack is confirmed to fit your 5 door hatchback, whether or not it has the factory rear spoiler. This is a great carrier that will allow you to transport your 2 bikes as long as they are each under 35 pounds. The adjustable arms will help to keep the bikes level and the SuperCrush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting ZipStrip straps will hold the bikes securely by their frames at...
view full answer... - To carry your 2 Electra Townie bikes with the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 I believe you will need to use the Yakima Adapter # Y02531. This attaches between your handlebars and your seat post to provide a horizontal top tube that allows your bikes to hang level on the bike rack. The only other thing to keep in mind is that the FullBack has a 35 lb per bike weight capacity.
Another option would be to install a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76209 or EcoHitch # 306-X7350 on your...
view full answer... - The Fit Dial setting you need to install the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR or 3 Bike Rack on your 2018 Subaru Impreza is 9. Please note that Thule doesn't list the 3 bike Gateway Pro as a "fit" for your vehicle, but they do list the 2 bike version as a fit. This is basically saying to avoid loading 3 bikes on the rack for whatever reason, so just keep that in mind as you use the bike rack.
view full answer... - I did some checking and there are some trunk mount bike racks that you can use on your leased 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-door hatchback. For a 2-bike rack you can use either the Yakima FullBack # Y02634. For 3 bikes the the FullBack model is # Y02633.
These racks will work even if the vehicle has a rear spoiler at the top of the hatch because the rack is positioned in such a way as to not put any stress on the spoiler. I included a picture showing this courtesy of Yakima. I have...
view full answer... - The Mighty Joe has been discontinued so there would be no fit information available for a 2017 Subaru Impreza.
Instead, I strongly recommend checking out the Yakima FullBack # Y02636. This is a high-quality bike rack featuring anti-sway cradles that have heavy-duty padding and ratcheting straps to secure your bikes at three different points to keep them from making contact with one another. The rack has arms which adjust and fold down for when you are not using it and are...
view full answer... - So long as your 2017 Subaru Impreza hatchback does NOT have a spoiler, it is perfectly compatible with the Malone RunWay 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack # MPG2142.
The only thing to keep in mind is 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 # 64005.

It is hard for me to say for sure that what you are wanting to do since there are several variables we don't know like what you plan to carry on the carrier, how tall the carrier would be, is there a rise on the shank of the cargo carrier. The biggest issue would be if the carrier is carried too high and the bikes would...
view full answer... - We do have trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2016 Subaru Impreza 5-Door, as long a you don't have a spoiler. I recommend the Thule Passage # TH910XT which has adjustable arms no-sway cages to prevent the bikes from coming into contact with each other or your Impreza as well as the FitDial technology to help with installation.
If you're carrying any women's or children's bikes you may also need an adapter bar like the Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01. This will...
view full answer... - While the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top bike rack # HRF2 (for 2 bikes) will likely fit your 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback, Hollywood Racks does not list it as a fit for the 2016 models yet so I cannot recommend it. But they are good quality bike racks and nothing else is recommended for vehicles that have that spoiler piece at the top of the rear hatch.
What you can do is install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mount bike rack. As long as your Impreza hatchback has single exhaust...
view full answer... - There are a couple of options for you that will work with your 2015 Subaru Impreza. You can go with a trunk mounted bike rack which will not have a 4 bike option, or you can go with a hitch mounted rack.
The Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV is my recommendation for your Impreza. It comes with all the integrated locking features to keep your bikes and the rack itself secure to your vehicle. This rack is rated for bikes up to 33 lbs each.

If you have a sedan or a 5-door wagon with a spoiler, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. The great thing about the FullBack 2 is that it comes with locks that secures both your bikes and the rack itself. This is an upgrade from the Gateway Pro 2 because you have to buy an additional security strap # TH533 to get protection of the rack.
