Will the Thule Outway or Gateway Trunk Mount Bike Racks Fit a 2009 Chevy HHR
Question:
Is the Thule OutWay or Gateway available for the 2009 Chevy HHR?
asked by: Rich H
Expert Reply:
Both the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, and the Thule Gateway, # TH88VR, will fit your 2009 Chevy HHR. There are numerous bike racks that will fit your HHR. I have included a link to them for you. I have also included some links on the Raceway and Gateway.
If I had to choose between the two racks, I would personally go with the OutWay. The ratcheting hooks that the Raceway uses to attach to the vehicle are much easier to use than the straps and buckles used by other racks. The OutWay also features an integrated cable lock to deter theft.
If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works for you.
