Question:
I am looking for a bike rack that will fit on my 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback, which has the factory spoiler. I am hoping to get something soon, but have since been discouraged from getting a trunk mounted one because of the spoiler, even though that would make transporting my bike easier for me then a roof rack. Any Recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For a trunk rack that would work best on your 2011 Nissan Versa I would recommend the Thule Gateway Pro E TH88VR, it was designed to minimize the stress on the spoiler.
Due to your vehicle having a soft bumper I would recommend you go with a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack since this route doesn't contact the vehicle at all.
For a hitch you would want the Curt Class 1 Hitch part # C11348. For a bike rack the most popular one we offer is the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack part # S64670. Check out the review video I attached.
