Expert Reply:
We do not have any options for carrying bikes on your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible. Trunk racks do not work with it and there is not currently a hitch available for it.
If you need to just be able to flat tow the Eclipse and use your existing bike rack at the same time then you can use a dual hitch receiver such as # RM-077-4 with a 4 inch rise/drop or # RM-077-2 with a 2-1/4 inch rise/drop. These were specifically designed for this purpose.
