How to Carry a Bike Rack with a 2012 Fiat 500 Convertible
Question:
Yes, I was wondering which 2 bike rack would work best for a Fiat 500 convertible without a trailer hitch?

Expert Reply:
For your 2012 Fiat 500c, which is the convertible model, I would recommend to use a hitch and a hitch bike rack. A trunk bike rack will not be able to be used on the convertible model.
The hitch I would recommend would be the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11363. This hitch will bolt-on to the rear of your vehicle. I am including a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a Fiat 500.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
