Does Thule Gateway Bike Rack Fit 2005 Honda Civic Sedan with Spoiler

Question:

Hi, Im interested in buying the Thule Gateway XT 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # TH88VR. It says fits most factory spoilers, but I wanted to check it can clear the spoiler on my 2005 Honda Civic Ex.

Yes, for your 2005 Honda Civic sedan the Thule Gateway part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit and would work well. Thule test fit this rack on your vehicle and found that it fit easily over the factory spoiler of your car.

If you plan on carrying any womens 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.
