Compatibility of Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack Strap Clips with 2009 Toyota Camry

Question:

I own a Toyota Camry 2009 4 door sedan. On this model, I noticed that the gap between the front edge or the trunk and the rear window is very thin ~3/32 inch. Im wandering if the TH910XT clamps are compatible with my Camry. Im a little afraid of cracking the rear window with the clips being sqeezed between the trunk and the window?? Thanks

The Thule Passage 2 Bike trunk-mount bike carrier # TH910XT is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Toyota Camry. I verified this with Thule. In fact other Thule racks that are larger and heavier are also suitable for use on your car.

The clips used on the rack's straps are designed to fit into the small gaps between the trunk and rear window, or between a rear hatch and roofline on a hatchback type vehicle. These clips have a protective coating on them to cushion the surfaces they contact and also the foam rubber weather stripping on car's doors and trunks cushions that area as well.

You do not need to worry about the rear window suffering damage from the rack's clips since this rack uses 6 straps to evenly distribute force around the car.
