Will the Thule Spare Me TH963PRO fit a 2004 Toyota Rav4
Question:
Hi, I am a bit confused earlier someone asked if the Thule 963PRO would fit their 2002 Rav4, and the rep from this site said it would not, although the Thule fit guide says it would. We want one for our 2004 Rav4 and based on the Thule fit guide it says it would work. In other questions the Thule fit guide was used as a reliable resource on this site, so I dont understand why the discrepancy. Is Thules fit guide not reliable? Thanks for your help,

It might depend on how much earlier the answer came from the Rep. Not too long ago Thule re-designed the Spare Me rack. Formerly it was part TH963, after the re-design it became part TH963PRO. There were fit issues with certain Rav4 models that were to be fixed. It is also possible that the Rep was not aware of the changes.
I checked with both the paper copy of the Thule Fit Guide as well as the guide on their site. The TH963PRO Spare Me will fit your 2004 Toyota Rav4. I spoke with one of my Thule contacts and she confirmed the PRO version now fits all years of the Rav4.
