How to Carry 2 Bikes on a 2017 Fiat 500 Convertible
Question:
Which rack for 2 bikes fits my 2017 Fiat 500 convertible? I carried them on the roof of my old VW but that won't work with the convertible now

Since the roof isn't an option anymore on your 2017 Fiat 500 convertible, I recommend adding a trailer hitch and getting a hitch mounted rack. I recommend the Curt hitch, part # C11363, that's a custom fit. I've linked a video from when we installed it on a 2019 500 for you to take a look at.
Once you have a hitch you just need a bike rack. If you prefer a rack that holds the bikes by the wheels take a look at the Kuat Transfer, part # KU74FR. There's no frame contact at all and it can handle up to two bikes weighing up to 40 pounds each.
I've attached some links to videos of each rack. Take a look at them to see how the bikes fit on them and to see more of their features.
