Does Thule OutWay Trunk Rack Fit a 2006 Mazda 3
Question:
Dears, Im a bit confused for the ability to have OutWay model fitting my Mazda 3 2006 4 doors Sedan while the OutWay 991 doesn't. The 2 models looks very similar. Can you help me understand? Cheers,

Expert Reply:
For your 2006 Mazda 3 the Thule OutWay # TH45JV is a confirmed fit. The 991 part number you referenced is the part number Thule UK uses for a similar rack. If you are here in the States the rack you would need is the part # TH45JV that you referenced.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
