Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2015 Honda Fit with Spoiler

Question:

Will this rack clear over the spoiler on a Honda 2015 Fit? It is not a Sport model, but it came with a spoiler on the base model. I saw the Hollywood bike rack which fits over the spoiler, but the price is much higher on that rack.

Because of that spoiler at the top of your 2015 Honda Fit the only trunk mount bike carriers I recommend are the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top carriers, # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. No other carrier will move the top straps over that spoiler.

Theses carriers do cost a little more because there is more to them but considering what it would cost to repair or replace the spoiler damaged by a different carrier the investment is well worth it.

The other option is to install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted rack. But this will ultimately end up costing more and you will only be able to carry 2 bikes since all of the hitches are Class I.

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.
