Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!
by: BillGBW07/03/2022
Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Trunk Bike Racks
- Installing Thule OutWay # TH45JV on 2011 Chevy EquinoxAccording to my Thule representative, not all Equinox models will have the holes in the frame members. Some vehicles will have holes in the backside of the bumper beam that can be used as attachment points. If those aren't present, Thule tells me that it's perfectly acceptable to use the bottom of the rear hatch as you propose. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Dodge Grand CaravanI really like the Thule Archway, part # TH9009XT. The rack has thickly padded cradles that will do a great job of protecting the investment you have in your bike. Anti-sway cradles will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth during transport, and striking each other or the rear of the vehicle. The rack features a locking strap that would be closed in the hatch of the vehicle, as well as an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. Although its above your budget, you...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2014 Ford EscapeI just spoke with my contact at Thule, and they do not offer a trunk mount bike rack for your 2014 Ford Escape. I have a solution for you, with a Yakakima rack. I would recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Carrier, part # Y02637. This rack holds 2 bikes and has anti sway cradles with soft rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack. I have linked you to a product review video for this rack. If you would like locks for this rack, you would need the # Y02623 to secure the rack to your...
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2013 Toyota Avalon HybridWe cannot recommend going against what the owners manual says. If it specifically says do not install a trailer hitch then you should not install a trailer hitch. But if it says do not tow a trailer with this vehicle, then that is different and it would be permissible to install a hitch as long as you are not towing with it. OutWay, # TH45JV. This is by far the best trunk mount rack available. What makes it so great are all of the features. It is easy to install and comes with locks for...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2007 Lexus RX 330I'd be happy to! Without a doubt, the easiest to use trunk mounted bike rack we carry is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The rack is incredibly simple to install and remove, using 2 rubber coated steel cables that adjust with the twist of a dial. Typically, hatch mounted bike racks use 6 straps and buckles that need to be constantly adjusted. The attaching cables of the OutWay are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to help deter theft. To see the rack in action,...
view full answer... - Recommended 2-Bike Rack for 2015 Subaru Outback That Allows Full Cargo Area AccessWe do have a great option for transporting your two bikes on your Outback that lets you keep full use of your rear hatch for complete cargo area access. This solution is to install a hitch and use a hitch-mount bike rack that can tilt or swing out of the way. Any trunk-mount bike rack, even the superb Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV, prevents opening a car's trunk or rear hatch when the rack is installed. The hinge that holds the trunk lid or hatch is not really designed to handle the extra weight...

It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy.. It also uses the OneKey system to lock both the carrier and the bikes to deter bike theft. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

One of the best bike racks I recommend is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, part # T45JV. This bike rack has rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle. The cable lock with the One Key System secures the bikes to the rack helping deter theft. This rack folds flat when not being used for easy storage. It has a capacity of 2 bikes and a total...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Chevrolet Sonic SedanIn my opinion, a hitch mounted bike rack is always the best way to go especially since you mention having a problem with a trunk mounted bike rack in the past. Hitch bike racks offer the most protection for the vehicle by carrying bikes out and away from the vehicle, make bikes much easier to load, and can be used on most vehicles with a hitch. If your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic isn't already equipped with a hitch, I recommend going with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11240. This...
view full answer... - Thule OutWay Platform or Hanging Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Toyota CamryI would recommend the Thule OutWay hanging rack part # TH45JV over the OutWay platform rack # TH65JV. The platform style OutWay is a bit heavier and in it's early versions had some issues with vehicles getting dented. They have since resolved that problem but still I tend to avoid recommending it. The # TH45JV though is by far the nicest option so I steer everyone towards it if they are considering it. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Pontiac VibeI checked with Thule and the Gateway Pro 2 Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier # TH88VR that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2009 Pontiac Vibe. I have linked you to a demonstration video featuring the Gateway bike rack. The best way to prevent theft of a trunk mounted bike rack is to have it installed only when you are transporting bikes and then remove it when you are parked and are away from your vehicle. Any time an accessory like a bike rack is in direct contact with a painted portion...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Thule Trunk Mounted Bike Rack, Part # TH910 with 2009 Pontiac G5 with SpoilerAlthough the Thule Passage is a fit for the 2009 Pontiac G5, but this trunk mount rack could damage your spoiler. Thule has another option for your G5 Coupe that works with spoilers, the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. Another option would be to go with a hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11447, which is a confirmed fit for your Coupe, and the Swagman 2 bike rack, part # S63360.
view full answer... - Fitting the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2013 Chevy VoltThe Thule OutWay # TH45JV is listed as a fit on the 2013 Chevy Volt from Thule so it can be mounted on the car. What you are describing as potential problems is the way that the rack should be mounted. When properly secured to the vehicle the top straps and the lower legs will bear the weight. The lower straps keep the lower legs from going anywhere. Make sure that it is set to FitDial setting 8. The arms that hold the bikes should be as level as they can be. Having the top arm on the...

The OutWay comes in a 2 bike version, # TH45JV, and a 3 bike version, # TH56BV. As far as fit is concerned, all of the trunk mount bike rack options that fit your Volt will mount in almost the same fashion. What sets the Raceway Pro apart is that is uses 2 retractable coated metal cables rather than...

If you would like to have access to your trunk without having to remove the bike rack every time, then I would recommend adding a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For your vehicle, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch, # 36407. There will be no contact between your vehicle and a hitch mounted bike rack and you will be...

All of the adapter bars work in the same manner, the bar telescopes to a certain length and clamp under the seat and under the handle bars so you can carry the bike more level. The # TH982XT would be a good choice. Looking at some pictures of the bike you would most likely have to raise the seat as high as you could to get an adapter bar to fit and be affective. Otherwise, you...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay # TH45JV Fit 2012 Acura MDXThule does not recommend using a hatch mounted bike rack on the 2012 Acura MDX, due to the lack of an attachment point for the top straps that is strong enough to handle the weight of the bikes plus the rack. Yakima, however, states that their FullBack 2 bike carrier, part # Y02634 will work on the MDX. As one of the manufacturers does not recommend using a trunk mount rack, I would personally be leery of doing so. I would recommend a hitch mounted rack. You could start with the the...

The bike rack and/or the cables that attach it to the vehicle would contact the spoiler which cannot withstand the stress. For the Rogue, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight).
