Will the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack fit a 2005 Nissan Sentra with a Factory Spoiler
Question:
Can you tell me if this rack fits the Nissan Sentra 2005 with spoiler/sport wing?

Expert Reply:
I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Express 3 Bike Rack part # HRE3 that you referenced is will not work on your 2005 Nissan Sentra because it has a spoiler. Instead, I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV for your Sentra with a spoiler. The OutWay is the easiest rack to install and fits most facotry spoilers. Check out the attached video for this rack.
If the OutWay is out of your budget, I would next suggest that you look at the Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR. It also works with factory spoilers. It has 6 straps to attach verses the 2 straps of the OutWay. This is still a great rack.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
