Can the Curt Stabilization Strap Be Used on a 2010 Honda Civic Si with Rear Spoiler

Question:

I have a 2010 Honda Civic Si Sedan that has a spoiler. Will this strap go over the spoiler and hook to where the trunk meets the rear glass without putting excessive force on the spoiler, damaging it?

It is possible that the stabilization strap, # 18050, will not contact the spoiler at all on your 2010 Honda Civic Si. The way that the strap attaches to the bike rack and the vehicle, if the upright arm of the bike rack is high enough, the strap may go over the spoiler and not contact it at all. I have included a link to another question that contains a video showing how to attach the strap.

If you find that the strap will make contact with the spoiler and put pressure on it, I recommend finding an alternate location for the strap so that the spoiler is not an issue.
