Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2015 Hyundai Accent 5-Door Hatchback with Rear Spoiler

Question:

Hello, I am looking for advice on the best bike rack for my 2015 Hyundai Accent Sport 5-door. I have a small spoiler on the top of my trunk door. Unfortunately I have a trunk door that is shape differently than most hatchbacks. Please let me know which bike rack you think would be best in my situation.

Because your 2015 Hyundai Accent hatchback has that spoiler at the top of the rear hatch I recommend only one type of trunk mount bike carrier; the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top racks # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes.

These racks have additional upper arm pieces that move 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 linked a video showing how the adapter works.
