Will the Thule Gateway Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2017 Nissan Sentra SR with Spoiler
Question:
Hello, Would this rack work with a Nissan Sentra SR 2017? This car has a small spoiler which can be a problem when using a bike rack

Expert Reply:
The Thule Gateway 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # TH88VR will fit your 2017 Nissan Sentra SR. The small spoiler will not be a problem in this case! You can also add Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers Item # TH533 to deter theft of the rack.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
