Question:
We own a 2016 Subaru Forester that has a rear spoiler and the automatic opening rear door, but no hitch. We are trying to find a trunk bike rack that will work. Not picky about brands, just something that will hold 1 or 2 bikes. Want to stay away from the stand-up roof racks. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Subaru Forester with rear spoiler and automatic tailgate, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # HRF2. This trunk mounted bike rack is ideal for vehicles with spoilers and is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. There is also a 3 bike option for this rack # HRF2-3.
To secure your rack, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533. If you have any step through bike frames, I recommend the adapter bar # HRBA-PRO for level transport and ground clearance. I then recommend the cable lock # e98891 and tie down for front bike tire # SR54FR.
