Will Thule 910 Passage 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2009 Toyota Corolla S with Factory Spoiler
Question:
Before I make a purchase, just want to ensure that this trunk bike rack is compatible with my 2009 toyota as it has a factory spoiler on it.

Expert Reply:
In many cases a spoiler will prevent the installation of a trunk mount bike rack. however, I did some research and looked at some images of the spoiler on a 2009 Toyota Corolla S. Based on what I have seen, the Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT, should fit.
In order for any trunk mount to work, no part of the rack or the straps can contact the spoiler. If that occurs then you cannot use the rack because the spoiler is not rated for the extra stress. I have included some links on this bike rack for you.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend the adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.
