Thule OutWay # TH45JV for 2019 Toyota Highlander with Spoiler
Question:
I was told the plastic frame on the spoiler might be damaged with a trunk mount bike rack. Would this be a problem with the Thule TH45JV?

There are a lot of great options for trunk mounted bike racks for use with your 2019 Toyota Highlander. The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV is a great option as it is easy to install and is adjustable to fit your specific vehicle. The retractable cables that secure the bike rack to the rear hatch of the vehicle come with padding that you can adjust to fit over areas of concern such as your spoiler. This helps keep your spoiler free from scratches and damage. I've included a link to a video that you can check out for installation details.
For some bike frames you might need an adapter bar for use with your hanging bike rack. The Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 is a great option. It extends from 24-3/8" to 33-1/4" in length and it's vinyl-coated hooks prevent scratches or other damage to your bike frame.
