Best Way to Carry Bikes on a 2016 Nissan Rogue S

Question:

I am interested in Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount I have 2016 Nissan Rogue S with spoiler. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me this rack would not fit my vehicle. You website says it would at least 2017 Nissan Rogue, which is almost the same car. Can you provide some more information whether this rack would fit my car? I also have 2015 Buick Encore with spoiler. Would it fit that car as well? Thank you

I do have options for you to carry bikes but the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 will not fit a 2016 Nissan Rogue S. It will fit a 2017 Nissan Rogue S as you mentioned but this is because the Nissan Rogue had an update from 2016 to 2017 in which parts of the vehicle were redesigned such as the rear bumper fascia. In order to carry bikes on a 2016 model you are going to want to install a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75902 and a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ.

I have attached an install video of the hitch if you would like to proceed with this option. If not, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Buick Encore with spoiler.
