Will Thule Passage 3 Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Would this rack work well with the 08 Nissan Rogue?

The Thule Passage, part # TH911XT, will only fit your 2008 Nissan Rogue if it does NOT have a spoiler at the top of the rear hatch.

If it does have that spoiler then the only rack that is going to work is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. 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). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
