Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Honda Civic LX 4 Door with Factory Spoiler

Question:

I am finding it very difficult to find a trunk rack for my 2005 honda civic LX 4 Door, mainly because of the spoiler it has on it.

For a trunk mounted bike carrier that will clear the spoiler on your 2005 Honda Civic Sedan I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. This 2-bike trunk rack has an arched dog leg that fits over the spoiler on most sedans. 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.
