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.

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.

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).

Volvo XC70 Bike Rack Questions
- Yes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack # SA801BL will fit your 2016 Volvo XC70.
Please note if any of your bikes is a kids bike or doesn't have a horizontal top tube then you'll need an adapter bar like part # TH982XT to fit the bike onto the arms of the rack and hold it level.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - In virtually all cases a hitch and hitch-mount bike rack are a better option for the vehicle's sake.
The trunk or hatch on a vehicle is not designed to handle the additional weight of a rear-mount bike rack and the loaded bikes. A loaded 3-bike trunk rack could easily weigh 100-lbs. On some vehicles that may not cause concern for the auto maker or the rack maker, but in other cases neither the auto maker nor the maker of aftermarket bike racks will consider certain vehicles...
view full answer... - On the used Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT, the condition: installed status indicates the carrier was used for demo videos and has been installed on multiple vehicles for that purpose. You can expect normal wear and tear like any product that has been put on and taken off vehicles many times. And wear and tear is cosmetic. The rack is still structurally and functionally fine.
view full answer... - It sounds like your Thule Passage 3 trunk bike rack # TH911XT may have been used on another vehicle and now requires adjustment for a proper fit on your 2010 Volvo XC70. The rack's bottom support bar and its foam cushion should be able to rest on the top of your rear bumper cover.
Since this rack includes the Thule patented FitDial adjustment system you'll first want to make sure the rack is set to the appropriate dial setting, which happens to be 9. This will ensure the correct...
view full answer... - Among our customers the most popular 2-bike trunk-mount carrier for owners of the Volvo XC70 is the Outway 2 from Thule, part # TH45JV. I have linked an installation video for this carrier (used on a different vehicle) to help illustrate.
The OutWay includes a number of advanced features, including the patented Thule Fit-Dial system which makes precise installation simple and repeatable. This carrier uses only 2 high-strength cables (rather than wear-prone 4-6 nylon straps...
view full answer... - Yes, the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier, # SA805BL, has been confirmed to fit a 2009 Volvo XC70.
If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, you may find it easier to secure the bikes by using an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. This bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem on your bike to give you a horizontal surface to secure to.
I have included a couple short videos for you.
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, will work on all of the 2008 Volvo XC models. I recently had the chance to install this rack on a vehicle and it is the easiest to install and remove trunk mount rack that I have used. For this reason, this is the rack I personally would choose for a trunk mount rack.
You may also want to consider a bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for use with bikes that do not have a horizontal cross bar for carrying the bikes level, see video.

You will use Fit Dial Setting number 9 when installing the Thule Passage on your Volvo. Also note that you will not be able to use the rear wiper when the rack is attached to the vehicle.
When carrying womens, childrens or odd-shape framed bicycles, I would recommend using the Thule Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. This adapter bar allows...
view full answer... - For 3 bikes, we do have some options from Thule. I recommend the OutWay 3, # TH56BV. This bike rack uses only 2 retractable cables rather than 6 straps to secure to the vehicle so it installs and removes faster than any other bike rack I have seen.
The cables can be locked into place to deter theft. The rack also features a cable lock to secure the furthest out bike to the rack preventing the theft of all the bikes.
If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative...

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 the bike...
view full answer... - Saris does not recommend any of their trunk-mount bike carriers for your 2006 Volvo XC70 but we do have 2- and 3-bike racks that are confirmed to fit well on this vehicle. You can see them on the linked page.
If you are looking for the easiest and most-secure installation I suggest the Thule OutWay racks, either the 2-bike # TH45JV or the 3-bike version # TH56BV. Both are unique in that they use only 2 strong coated steel cables (not 6 wear-prone nylon straps) to mount on the...
view full answer... - According to Thule, the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2005 Volvo XC70. In order to determine if the children's bikes will fit, the tire size is not the deciding factor. The frame size is what is important for a hanging rack. While the rack has narrowly spaced arms (6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches measured outside to outside) that will hold a wide variety of bikes, you may find that you need an adapter bar, # TH982XT for any bikes that will not fit or have an alternative style frame.

The distance between the arms of the rack adjust from 6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches inches, depending on the dimensions of your youth bike it could accommodate it as-is.
If you find that distance to be too wide for your youth bike to fit on the rack you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar part # TH982XT. This product attaches...
