• Lever for Cable Release on the Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack 9001 No Longer Works
  You will first need to make sure that the unit is not locked or partially locked. This would only affect the cables on one side of original Raceway 9001 bike rack. If it is not that side then there is likely a part of the mechanism that is broken so that the drum that holds the cable is not disengaged into freewheel mode (which is what happens when you pull the lever). You may still be able to turn the wheel and ratchet out the cable. There is no replacement part available for this problem...

• Will Thule OutWay 2 Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2006 Infiniti FX35?
  The Thule OutWay 2 Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier # TH45JV is not recommended for your 2006 Infiniti FX35 because the spoiler is at the top of the hatch near the roof line, rather than at trunk level. Although the rack would mount to the vehicle, the mounting cables would put pressure on the spoiler and eventually cause wear or damage to it. You are correct that Thule previously indicated this rack as a fit for the 2006 FX35 and they now do so only for the 2007 and later model years. A better...

• Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Toyota Camry at Highway Speeds
  The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for the 2012 Toyota Camry. The bike rack should perform just fine at highway speeds. The bike rack does not have a specific speed rating on it. Because it is at the back it will not be catching a lot of the wind like the front of the vehicle will be. Thule only states: For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried. If...

• Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for 2010 Lexus HS250 Hybrid
  When multiple bikes are placed on the OutWay 2 or 3 bike rack, the bikes would face in alternate directions. The bike closest to the vehicle would have the front of the bike facing to the right, the second bike would have the front facing to the left, and so on. Because the bikes are facing in alternating directions, everything should fit nicely. These carriers come with a bar that goes between the bikes to physically hold them apart. The 2-bike OutWay model, part # TH45JV weighs about...

• High/Low Adapter with an 8 Inch Drop to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Equinox and Bike Rack Recommendation
  The dual receiver we have with the most rise or drop is # RM-077-4 that you have referenced. One of the receivers has a 4 inch drop. That is not quite enough if you need 8 inches. But there are other options. First, you do need an 8 inch drop so that is a given, use # RM-048-8. This adapter has a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity and 400 pound tongue weight capacity. What you can do is add a trunk mount bike rack to the 2012 Chevy Equinox. There are 2 and 3 bike carriers that...

• Troubleshooting Stuck Lock Cores on a Thule Raceway or OutWay Bike Rack
  I spoke with my contact at Thule and she informed me of a couple possible solutions for you. But we before you attempt anything you should verify that the lock core of your rack has the same number etched into it as the number etched into the key. Once you have verified that the key number and lock core number are the same she recommended you try spraying a lubricant like WD40 into the key slot. You will want to have a straw on the lubricant, and you will want to pull back the flap that...

• Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2011 VW Golf that Will Not Dent Bumper
  I don't recommend the platform style OutWay, # TH65JV on any vehicle that does not have a metal bumper. The rack is heavy for a trunk mount rack and after adding the weight of bikes to the rack it can deform plastic and fiberglass. The Thule OutWay hanging rack, # TH45JV is a better option because it is lighter. But with any trunk mount bike rack there is always the possibility of leaving dents in the bumper fascia. Be sure to remove the rack when it is not in use to help avoid this from...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Fit and a 2013 Toyota Prius
  The trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for both your 2009 Honda Fit and your 2013 Toyota Prius (as long as it's not a V) would be the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. I checked with Thule and both of your vehicles are compatible with this rack. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy...

• Availability of Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2009 Subaru Forester XT Limited With Spoiler
  The best way to carry bikes on your 2009 Subaru Forester XT Limited with a spoiler is to use a hitch and a hitch bike rack. Thule, Yakima, and most bike rack manufacturers do not recommend using the trunk mount racks on vehicles with spoilers. According to the manufacturers, the racks are not test fit on spoiler equipped vehicles, and a fit cannot be guaranteed. The top hooks on a trunk bike rack, like the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45JV, need to hook on to the top of the vehicles...

• Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Volkswagen Passat

Check out our review video to learn of all of its great features. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bike more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.

  For your 2016 Toyota Avalon the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit that would work well. This is arguable the nicest trunk rack on the market that I know will work well for you.

This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack...

• Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Fits for 2006 Volvo XC70
  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 XC70. These...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a Volkswagen New Beetle
  As long as your Volkswagen is a New Beetle, the Thule 2 bike trunk mount racks will work great for you. The Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a very nice rack and we have a video review of this rack for you to see. My personal favorite trunk mount bike rack would be the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, which is much easier to install and remove because it uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks. It is much easier to work with than the web straps, like those on...

• Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Ford Mustang Convertible
  I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that as long as the trunk on your 2011 Mustang convertible model is the same as non-convertible models, you can use the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. Based on the location of the lower arm, upper tier of the rear bumper, it will most likely block the license plate when bikes are loaded. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included...

• trunk-Mount bike Carrier For 2014 BMW 7 Series Sedan
  Since you said you would prefer a bike carrier that would not have to be mounted on the roof of your 2014 BMW 7 Series, I would suggest a trunk mounted carrier like the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # TH45JV. This is a 2 bike carrier with anti-sway cradles that help to protect the bikes and keep them from contact with the car. This carrier has a patented FitDial system that makes it easy to attach the carrier to your BMW. Adjustments to the FitDial are made very easily with the vehicle...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Volvo S60
  The Thule OutWay platform rack, # TH65JV, is listed as a fit for a 2005 Volvo S60. This rack is heavy, about 28 pounds, and when loaded to its 66 pound capacity, that would be about 100 pounds on the bumper of a vehicle. While it will technically fit, it is more suited for a vehicle that has a metal mounting surface for the bottom legs because this much weight can dent thinner composite materials. For a 2 bike rack I recommend going with the OutWay hanging style rack, # TH45JV. This rack...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Honda Odyssey
  The design of the 2013 Honda Odyssey does not work for trunk mounted bike racks. Your only option, without installing a hitch, is a suction cup type rack like the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK. I recommend installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This would allow you many choices for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058 as a great example....

However, the bike rack I would recommend is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and super easy. This rack also features locks...

  I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier # TH65JV has been confirmed to fit your 2011 Kia Sorento. Due to the weight of this rack and it's tendency to dent soft bumpers I think you would be better off getting the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack Part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

• Will Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier Fit 2013 VW Jetta Sportwagon with Roof-Level Spoiler
  Vehicles such as your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon with a roof-level spoiler can sometimes have issues with bike carriers whose straps or cables might contact it. On some vehicles the spoiler is plastic and may not withstand the pressure of the cables, but your vehicle has been tested by Thule with the OutWay 2 bike rack # TH45JV and has been found to be a proper fit. This carrier includes locks to both secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle and it is the easiest to...

• Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2016 Volvo XC60
  We have a great trunk mounted bike rack that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle, but I cannot safely recommend you open the trunk of your 2016 Volvo XC60 with a trunk mounted bike rack installed. The hooks of the bike rack could potentially bind up against painted surfaces of the vehicle which could dent or scratch paint, plus the hinges of your trunk aren't designed for that heavy of a load to be put on them. The nicest rack we offer that has been confirmed as a fit is the Thule...
