Expert Answers about Scion xA


  • Recommended Trunk-Mount 2-Bike Carrier for 2005 Scion xA
  • According to Saris, their Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL is not a fit for the spoiler-equipped Scion xA Hatchback nor FR-S Coupe. Also, the folks at Hollywood Racks, maker of many spoiler-friendly bike racks, does not recommend any of their trunk-mount carriers for your Scion. But my trusty technical pal at Thule confirmed that as long as your spoiler is factory-installed (and is not an added-on aftermarket product) that many of their racks are tested and confirmed to be compatible. Thule's...

  • Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2 Compatibility with Sportworks Bike Rack
  • The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 features a 1/2" pin diameter and is compatible with 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, however it is meant to be used with Thule hitch mounted racks. Most bike racks require a brand specific pin because they are threaded and the threads are usually different between bike racks. Since your Sportworks bike rack is older, none of these brand-specific bike rack hitch pin locks are guaranteed to fit your bike rack. I also reached out to Thule...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2004 Scion xA and 2005 Saturn Ion Sedan
  • The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is definitely the bike rack I recommend and it will fit both your 2004 Scion xA and 2005 Saturn Ion sedan. I actually own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is the best trunk mount I have used, hands down. My favorite feature is the retractable cables. They make installation fast and easy. My wife is on the short side (5 foot 3) and she does not have a problem using this rack. I have included a link to a video review of this bike rack for you to view. Since...

  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Steel Mesh, Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # RLBH-S280 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit square or aero shaped crossbars like what your 2006 Scio xA has so it would work for you. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.

  • Are Glass Hatch Hooks Needed to Mount KingJoe Bike Racks to 2006 Scion xA and 2007 Toyota Yaris
  • I checked with Yakima and to mount the KingJoe bike rack Y02620 or another model KingJoe to the 2006 Scion xA you will not need the glass hatch hook. You will just use the straps as they are. For the 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan it is the same; no glass hatch hook accessory required to mount the KingJoe bike racks!

  • Will the Saris Bones 3 Fit a 2006 Scion xA
  • Yes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Scion xA and will work well for you. It has anti-sway cradles which will prevent both bike to bike and bike to vehicle contact in addition to rubber feet and hooks to protect the vehicle's finish. Please note that if you have any bikes with an alternative frame then you will also need to use an adapter bar like the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040. I have attached a sample install video...
