How to Mount a Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack on a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan
Question:
Ive looked at the directions on-line etc but not certain I should buy this rack. Where would the blue straps go? I also have a spoiler but not sure if the top straps go on top of the trunk near rear window or on the side of trunk?

The blue straps for the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack, part # TH911XT will connect to slightly different places than they normally do on a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Your top straps will go at the front edge of the top of the trunk, while your bottom straps will go along the bottom of the trunk, and you'll make sure that your carrier's bottom arm is on the upper tier of the bumper. Thule also recommends removing the rack if you do not plan on using it.
I've included a video of a 2013 Lincoln MKZ test fit that has the same footnotes from Thule as the 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class does, so you can get an idea of how the straps are intended to attach to the vehicle.
