Will the Thule Archway Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Acura TL
Question:
Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack fit an Acura 2008 TL properly? I have a 10-year old Graber Mountaineer 1059 and it fits poorly so poorly I cant use it confidently. When installed, the bikes would be at a very steep angle, and the top bar gets perilously close to the rear window.

Expert Reply:
The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is a fit for your 2008 Acura TL. Since the top and bottom legs and the arms all move independently of each other, you will be able to fine tune the fit so that you will not have the problems that you are having with your current bike rack. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
You could also consider an adapter bar to help you mount the bike on the rack. You can use Thule adapter bar # TH982XT or one of the others shown on the linked page. This will make you bikes level when installed.
