I do have a recommendation for you but unfortunately the Thule OutWay, part # TH56BV, is not confirmed to fit your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. Thule doesn't have any 3-bike racks that are a fit.

Unfortunately, we do not have any 3-bike racks that are specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers. We have the 2 bike carrier by Hollywood Racks that will work with most factory spoilers. It is the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 bike carrier # HRF6-2. It carries up to 2 bikes that weigh up to 35 pounds each.

If you'd like to add some security to the rack I recommend using the Thule Passive Security Strap, part # TH533, and a cable lock, part # e98891.

If you need to carry a third bike, you could install a Curt Class II trailer hitch # C12040 and a 3 bike rack like the Thule Helium Pro # TH9043PRO.

Also if you're carrying any women's or children's bikes with either a trunk rack or a hitch rack, you likely are going to need a bike frame adapter bar. The Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005, is my favorite because of how the hooks open to the side and it's less expensive than some other models.

I've attached some videos of each product I recommended as well.
