Recommended 2-3 Bike Rack for 2015 Kia Soul over Hatch with Spoiler
Question:
Can you remcommend a 2-3 Bike Rack for a 2015 Kia Soul with a Hatch with a Spoiler
asked by: Kathi H
Expert Reply:
As long as there is a gap at the top of your rear spoiler for the mounting strap to pass through and attach to the edge of the rear hatch (rather than the straps passing up and over the spoiler), the Thule Passage 3 bike rack # TH911XT will install on your 2015 Kia Soul without any problems. Some rear top spoilers do not have this gap, so you will want to make sure your Soul does.
It's important that the cables be routed under the spoiler, not over. The spoiler is not designed to handle any weight and if the cables are run over the spoiler the spoiler could deform or even brake under the weight of the bike rack and bikes.
If you are planning on using the bike rack for a women's bike with an angled top frame tube, I would recommend getting an adapter bar like part # TH982XT, so that the bike would be able to sit level across the arms of the bike rack.
