Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Forester that Has Spoiler

Question:

I just wanted to double check. Your information says the THULE OutWay 2-Bike rack with fit a 2017 Subaru Forester which has a rather large air foil at the top of the hatch. This unit will work on that vehicle?

We checked with Thule and the Raceway part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Subaru Forester with it's rear spoiler setup.

That being said if you really want to avoid any spoiler issues the best option is the Holllywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 which is specifically designed to fit vehicles with spoilers like yours.

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.
