• Thule Trunk Bike Rack Comparisons
  I've only dealt with the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR and I've not used the Thule Outway # TH45JV before. That being said, I am not a fan of trunk mounted bike racks but the Gateway Pro didn't give me any trouble so I would definitely go with that one! Check out the video I've made using the Gateway Pro! If you plan on keeping it on your trunk aluminum would be ideal but the powder coated steel will resist the rust just as well. The arms on the Gateway fold down which means it's a retractable....

• Will the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack Fit a 2001 BMW Z3
  I checked with Thule but the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV is not listed as a fit for a 2001 BMW Z3. Instead, I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 as a great alternative. If you wanted to add a lock you can use the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock part # e98891 or one similar.

• Does Trunk Mount Bike Rack Need to be Removed for Hatch Access on a 2011 Honda Element
  Yes, you will need to remove the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack # TH45JV from the trunk of your 2011 Honda Element before opening up the tailgate and upper door. This is the same case for all trunk mount bike racks on any vehicle. If you are wanting to have unrestricted access to the rear hatch area of your Honda Element without removing your bikes or bike rack then you can install a trailer hitch and use a swing-away bike rack. For this application I recommend the etrailer # e78KR which may...

  For a trunk mounted bike rack that is confirmed to fit your 2012 Ford Focus 5 dr hatch I would recommend the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. The OutWay is one of our most popular trunk mounted bike racks and uses a new attachment system with only 2 rubber coated straps. This rack has a weight capacity of 66 lbs but only a 33 lb per bike weight limit so it should work well to carry your Electra Beach Cruiser but you should check the weight of your bike to be sure.

  The best trunk rack confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Nissan Juke is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system.

• Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 BMW 328xi Wagon
  Thule does list a few trunk mount bike racks as a fit for your 2009 BMW 328xi Wagon, however, I do not recommend using a trunk mount bike rack if you have the plastic rear spoiler on top of the hatch door. To install a trunk mount bike rack, you must have two straps hook to the top edge of your rear hatch. To do this, the straps must go over the spoiler. A plastic spoiler was not designed to support the weight of a bike rack and bikes and could deform or even break under the weight. If...

• Compatibility of Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV With 2014 Subaru Forester
  According to Thule, their OutWay Trunk-Mounted 2 bike rack, part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Subaru Forester. To carry women's 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. I have linked...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Volkswagen Beetle
  We have many trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2010 Volkswagen Beetle as long as it is not a convertible. The bike rack that I recommend is the Thule OutWay Bike Rack, # TH45JV. The main benefit that the OutWay has over other bike racks is the 2 retractable cables it uses to attach to the rear hatch of your Beetle. Most trunk mount bike racks secure to your vehicle using 6 nylon straps. Nylon straps can wear overtime and can be distracting to you and other drivers when they are...

• Bike Rack Recommendations for 2010 Subaru Outback
  The two best bike carrying options for your Outback would be a trunk mounted rack or a hitch mounted rack. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A hitch mounted rack would be initially more expensive, but having the receiver hitch would offer more flexibility. If the need should arise, you could tow a small trailer or use a hitch mounted cargo carrier. For bike carrying purposes, the biggest advantage offered by the hitch mounted rack would be the fact that the rack would not be...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Fit
  We have many trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2012 Honda Fit, but I do not recommend using the Thule OutWay Platform Bike Rack, # TH65JV. Due to the weight of this bike rack, the lower support arm must sit on top of your bumper. Your bumper could dent or deform under the weight of this bike rack and bikes. This bike rack was primarily designed for vehicles with strong, metal rear bumpers. Instead, I recommend looking at the OutWay Hanging Style Bike Rack, # TH45JV. This bike...

As long as you do not overload the carrier you should have no problem preventing your trunk lid or bumper from getting dented. The weight capacity for this carrier is 66 lbs.
