Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

- Stability of Thule OutWay 2-Bike Carrier on 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Driven at High SpeedsThe Thule OutWay 2-Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV, is an advanced 2-bike carrier that uses four high-strength steel cables to attach to the rear of your 2013 Grand Cherokee. When loaded with two bikes the combined carrier/bike weight will be close to 100-lbs, and at speeds of 70 mph that 100-lbs of weight will inevitably move around to some degree. Both vehicle momentum and wind will affect the Raceway or any other carrier for that matter. This can be considered a normal condition at a 70...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee and be StableYes, the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When installed according to the directions which I have linked for you, the bike rack is very stable. Because it uses retractable cables instead of straps, not only is the rack very stable but also easy and quick to install. 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 a link...

On a trunk mount bike rack, it is not the straps that determine how far the rack will be from the vehicle, it is the adjustable legs and arms. This bike rack has an easy to use dial system that you adjust to get the legs in the right place for any given vehicle. The best setting has already been determined by Thule and on your Beetle it is fit dial setting 7. You then adjust the arms...
view full answer... - Lever for Cable Release on the Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack 9001 No Longer WorksYou 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Carrier For 2013 Hyundai Sonata To Carry Beach Cruiser BikesWe offer several trunk-mount bike carriers that will work with your 2013 Sonata, but it will depend on the weight of your beach cruiser bikes to determine if they will work for you. The trunk-mount bike carries we offer are limited to 33-35 lbs per bike. If your cruisers weigh 35-lbs or less I recommend a carrier like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This carrier uses only 2 steel reinforced cables to secure the carrier to the vehicle instead of the 6 straps most bike carriers use. This has...

This is the easiest trunk bike rack because it has only 2 straps compared to the 4-6 of other trunk bike racks. It can hold up to 2 bikes with a maximum of 33 lbs each.

view full answer... - Will a Thule OutWay Trunk Rack fit a 2014 Nissan RogueYes, all versions of the Thule Raceway is going to fit your 2014 Nissan Rogue. The current version of the OutWay # TH45JV is the most current version and would work well. The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is the upgraded version of the discontinued Raceway 9001 2-bike trunk-mount rack. The primary differences between the two is the location of the locks and the cradles. The previous model locked the release handles for the mounting cables but left the levers exposed making them easy to be...
view full answer... - How Does the Cable Release Lever Lock Prevent Theft on the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike RackThe cable release levers for the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH45JV, lock on both sides. This is all that is needed because if the bike rack is installed correctly and tightened down, a would-be thief would not be able to get the cables off. With the right side cables under tension, the bike rack cannot be pushed up or pulled down enough to get the hooks off.

If you are looking to carry bikes I recommend a trunk mount carrier. When not in use you can just fold it up and put it in your truck or store it at home. The bike carrier I recommend is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. This bike rack uses 2 reinforced cables to secure the bike rack to the vehicle where most trunk mount carriers use 6 straps. If you are planning on...

It has coated hooks/cables as well as a rubberized base all of which are designed to protect the vehicle's surface from scratches. Therefore, you won't need to use any additional pads for protection and I actually recommend against this as it could cause the bike rack to shift which would then create a chance for damage to occur. I do however recommend making surface the surface is clean...

It wouldn't cause any damage to the vehicle either because of the padding. It is also made in the USA!

There are a couple of things that you can try to get the top hooks in place. First, what works for me is to put the hook above the opening it needs to go into and then pushing it into place. The coating protects the vehicle from any damage. Another thing you can do is pull out some slack from the retractable cable and try to get the hook in at the corner or edge and then slide it over into position. This works for me when I...
