Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2016 Honda Fit

The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2016 Honda Fit and is a great option. This 2 bike carrier is compatible with factory spoilers like what you have on your vehicle and features a patented Fit Dial adjustment system that will ensure a proper fit on your Honda Fit. The bike rack can handle up to 2 bikes at 35 pounds each.

I have attached a video demonstration on this rack that you can also check out.

If you are truly concerned about the rear spoiler on your Honda Fit, I highly recommend looking at the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This 3 bike rack is also confirmed to fit your vehicle but is specially designed for hatchbacks with spoilers. It features a high-rise frame and multiple mounting options that will prevent any damage to the spoiler and vehicle. I have attached a video demonstration on this rack so you can see how it installs a bit differently, essentially avoiding any contact with the spoiler when properly mounted.

For either option, I recommend adding the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to secure the carrier to your vehicle and help deter theft of your valuables.

Lastly, if you plan on carrying any children's, woman's or alternative frame bikes, you might need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
