Recommended 3 Bike Carrier For 2016 Honda Fit With Spoiler

Question:

Hello! Does the Thule Gateway 3 9007XT will fit in my Honda Fit 2016? I saw in their website, but the answer is not clear. Some say that it wont work because of its spoiler see photo attached. Thanks!

The Thule Gateway XT 3-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH78VR is a confirmed fit on your 2016 Honda Fit. It will have straps that secure over top of the spoiler which many people don't prefer.

For the best bike rack for spoiler compatibility, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # HRF2-3. This bike rack is made specifically to allow use with a spoiler with adjustability to fit the straps in the hatch seam and avoid any contact with the spoiler due to angle. I've attached a video to show a similar spoiler install.

With this rack, I recommend a cable lock like # e98891 and security strap like # TH533. This will secure the rack to your locked hatch and the bikes to the rack. With any hanging rack, I also recommend a bike adapter bar like # 64005 for any bikes without a top frame rail. This allows for level transport and necessary ground clearance.
