Question:
Will this bike rack fit on a 2013 Nissan Rogue with a spoiler? Im looking for a two bike rack please.

Because of that spoiler I only recommend using either the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack for 2 bikes, # HRF2 or the 3-bike version # HRF2-3. Any other rack is going to put pressure on that spoiler.
These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
