Question:

I have been reviewing your website and it is amazing and filled with information. However, I didnt see a specific recommendation for a Trunk Bike Rack for a 2006 Toyota Solara Coupe SLE with a spoiler Thule Trunk Bike Racks - TH88VR might fit the bill but would be interested in your opinion of this or any other options you might suggest. As an added Bonus if it fit a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT 4 door that would be great. Also we are talking about mountain bikes not road bikes if that makes a difference.

The Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR will work with your 2006 Toyota Solara Coupe SLE (with a spoiler). To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

The top of the line Thule trunk mount bike rack and the one I recommend is the OutWay # TH45JV. It attaches the rack to the vehicle using only 2 rubber coated straps which makes installation and removal super easy. Independently adjustable arms keep bikes level during transport. You might also look at the frame adapter # TH982XT if you are carrying any women's or step through framed bikes.

Another solid option is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. The frame adapter is the same as the Archway # TH982XT.

Thule trunk rack bike racks will accommodate mountain and road bikes. I have also added a few installation videos.

The Thule OutWay, Archway and Gateway will fit your 2005 Dodge Neon SXT 4 door.
