Fit of Thule TH78VR Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack on 2021 Chrysler 300
Question:
I have a 2021 Chrysler 300. Will this rack fit my car? Will it Rub or scratch my car as my previous rack has? Are there rubber pieces that will be on car other than window?

Expert Reply:
The Thule # TH78VR Gateway Pro 3 bike rack is a confirmed fit for the 2021 Chrysler 300. The rack can handle 3 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each. If you have a women's bike with a step through frame or a bike with a sharply angled top frame tube like a hybrid bike, you'll want to use a frame adapter bar like part # SA3040. I'll link to product demonstration videos for the Gateway 3 bike rack and the frame adapter bar, so you can see how they work.
Anytime a bike rack is touching the painted surface of a vehicle, the risk of scratching the vehicle exists. You can minimize that risk by ensuring the rack is correctly installed and tightened and by making sure the surfaces of the vehicle and the rack that touch are perfectly clean and free of grit.
To completely remove the chance of anything getting scratched, I'd recommend installing a hitch like
# C13236 and a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part #TH934XTR.
