Question:
Can the upper straps of this rack go over the prius vs spoiler? or will it damage the spoiler?

Expert Reply:
Yes, they can. Thule tested the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack # TH45JV on your 2012 Toyota Prius V and found that the spoiler can support the upper straps of the rack going over the spoiler. It is our most popular rack and is the easiest to install and remove.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
