  • Lightweight Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  • We have some lightweight bike racks like the Saris Bones part # SA805BL (10 lbs), which could potentially work for you. But without knowing what year Lexus CT 200h you have it is hard for me to say what would be the best rack for based on what is confirmed as a fit. What you will want to do is follow the link I attached that will ask you to enter your year/make/model and then all of the confirmed trunk racks we offer will be listed for your vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Lexus CT 200h
  • For your 2015 Lexus CT 200h we have the Curt hitch part # C11200 which is a 1-1/4 inch sized hitch opening. 2 inch hitches are reserved for larger vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs.

  • Is There a Way to Bring the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Closer to the Bumper when Folded Up?
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12P is a great bike rack, however there is no way to adjust the rack to fold up closer to your bumper. The only solution would be to use a different hitch that doesn't stick out as far from your vehicle frame, but the only hitch we have available for your 2018 Lexus CT 200h is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11200. When installed, this hitch should measure about 4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of your bumper. Otherwise, you would...

This thoroughly-engineered carrier includes locks for both your bikes and for the rack itself, uses a superior 2-cable attachment system and includes Thule's patented Fit-Dial mounting system for easy installation.

  • Can Sunroof Be Opened on 2012 Lexus CT 200h with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack
  • If your 2012 Lexus CT 200h has the kind of sunroof that goes into a cavity inside the roof and no part of it sticks up, then it will not interfere with a roof rack like Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System with Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK394, which you referenced. If it slides up and back it is more likely to interfere with the sunroof. I don't recommend opening the sunroof with a roof rack installed or with anything loaded on it. Even though the bars are aerodynamic it...

  • 50mm Trailer Hitch Ball for European Style Bike Rack
  • Based on some quick research it appears your Atera Stada DL is a fit for a 50mm hitch ball more common in Europe. We do have the Brophy 50mm Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 8K # EH53C-C. The 50mm hitch ball is 1.9685 inches so it is between the 2 inch ball and the 1-7/8 inch size so that is most likely your fit issue.

  • Recommended Wind Fairing for 37-3/8 Long Rhino Rack ROC25 Crossbars
  • Since the bars on the Rhino Rack ROC25 # RR65QR are 37-3/8" long, you'll want to use the Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks - 38" Long # RRRF2, which will sit right about even with the outside of the legs and provide you with full coverage of your crossbars. This is going to do a great job of reducing the wind noise and is exactly what you're looking for.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 1,200 Mile Trip for a 2012 Lexus CT 200h
  • Thule has tested the OutWay trunk mount bike carrier # TH45JV on a 2012 Lexus CT 200h. Probably not for 1200 miles but enough to determine that it fits safely. This is a good road trip bike carrier. It features anti-sway cradles, passive security strap, and an integrated cable lock in the last bike position. The 2-strap design will keep the carrier secure to the vehicle and the anti-sway cradles will reduce bike movement. It is the easiest rack to install and remove. It is an excellent...

  • Easy to Use Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Lexus CT200h
  • According to our friends at Thule, the OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack you referred to, part # TH45JV would indeed fit your Lexus CT200h. The OutWay uses an innovative retracting cable system to attach to the vehicle, rather than the difficult to use strap and buckle system used by other trunk mounted racks. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the...

  • Troubleshooting Bike Mount Issues on the Kuat Beta Bike Rack on a 2011 Lexus CT 200h
  • I think I have a solution to your problem. I would recommend you use a bike adapter bar like the Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Womens and Alternative Bike Frames, part # TH982XT. A bike adapter bar is specifically designed to help you carry bikes that have odd or smaller shaped frames safely on a bike rack. The adapter bar will attach to your bikes seat post and the handle bar post. I have attached a video showing how this adapter bar works for you to check out.
