How to Carry a Bike with a 2004 Ford Thunderbird

I have a solution for you to transport a bike with your 2004 Ford Thunderbird but it will look different than a hitch mount rack because there unfortunately are no trailer hitches that fit your vehicle.

If you have a hardtop then I recommend the SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack # 298-BT1004 which mounts directly to your roof without the need of a roof rack. This system uses powerful vacuum cups that have a pull strength of 210 lbs each so it won't be going anywhere.

If you have the convertible then I'm not sure if there will be enough room to mount the Talon so in this case I recommend the SeaSucker Komodo which comes with the following colors:

Aqua Blue - # 298-BK1910-AB
Black - # 298-BK1910-BK
Silver - # 298-BK1910-SV
Gold - # 298-BK1910-GO

The Komodo has a smaller footprint than the Talon which is why this will work better for the convertible.

I'm attaching review videos of both bike racks for you to check out.
