According to my contacts at Thule, their Passage 3 Bike Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack # TH911XT is a fit for your 2009 Nissan Xterra.

Thule notes that the rear window wiper should NOT be used with the rack in place.

To avoid scratching the vehicle, ensure that the vehicle and bike rack surfaces that contact each other are free of any dirt or grit.

For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
