Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2007 Volvo XC70

Question:

What is a good rack for a Volvo xc 70 2007 station wagon? We also use the back converted to a 3rd row of seats to transport passengers. Any other suggestions?

For your 2007 Volvo XC70 take a look at the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack, # TH911XT. The rack includes anti-sway cradles, folding arms, and features a molded rubber base to help protect the vehicle paint.

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 handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance. I'll link you to a video showing how the adapter bar works.
