Expert Reply:
The Thule Gateway Pro Bike Carrier # TH88VR that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2006 Scion xA. As long as it is installed correctly it should be plenty sturdy and would not fall off.
I attached a review video and installation instructions for this product for you to look over.
However, if you are looking for the most secure bike rack we offer that is confirmed to fit your vehicle you should take a look at the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier # TH45JV. This rack uses rubber coated straps that secure the rack to your vehicle. This attachment system allows the rack to be installed and removed in seconds.
I have attached a review video and installation instructions for this product for you to check out.
If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bike so that it is level. I have linked a video of the adapter as well.
