Question:

Will the TH65JV fit on a 2011 Honda Crosstour. I have been told yes, and I have been told no. Thanks

Thule does list the OutWay 3 Bike Rack, # TH56BV, as a fit for your 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. Thule has tested and confirmed the fit of this bike rack on your vehicle.

The fit guide notes from Thule state that the top clips will attach at the front edge of the top of the trunk. The lower clips will attach to the bottom edge of the trunk and the lower arm of the carrier will rest in the bottom of the license plate well. The rear wiper cannot be used when this carrier is mounted.

If you plan on carrying any women's or children's bikes, then you may also want to pick up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. Some small and angled bike frames are difficult to mount on bike racks and can mount in awkward positions. This adapter bar will allow you to carry the bikes level.

I have also attached a review video of this adapter bar for you to check out.
