Can the Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag Fit on a 2006 Honda Pilot With Rear With a Spoiler
Question:
Will this item work on a suv with a rear spoiler? I have a 2006 Honda Pilot. Thanks!

According to my contacts at Rightline, their Cargo Hatch bag can be used on vehicles with a small spoiler that is integrated into the vehicle. However, after reviewing the photo of your vehicle, this saddle bag is not recommended for your 2006 Honda Pilot. It is possible that the clips and straps would put too much stress on your spoiler and could dammage either your spoiler or other portions of your vehicle.
For your Pilot, I recommend using a roof mounted cargo bag like either the # RL100S20, that will provide 15 cubic feet of storage. Since your vehicle has factory raised rails either one of these bags will attach and secure to the roof of your vehicle nicely.
If you choose this storage bag, I also recommend using the Rightline Non-Skid Pad # RL100650 to protect the roof of your Pilot.
For your convenience for loading your roof cargo bag, you might be interested in the HitchMate Tire Step # HE4040.
I have provided links to the parts referenced above and a couple of videos, as well as a helpful article for your reference.
