Solution for Bike Rack on 2013 Toyota Corolla Sport Hatchback
Question:
Hi, I have a toyota corolla 2013 sports hatchback. What are the trunk bike carriers that are compatible with this model please? I also have a 2018 mazda cx5. If any of these carriers are compatible with this model could you let me know but the priority is for the corolla Regards Mary

Hi Mary; I'm sorry to say there are no trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your 2013 Toyota Corolla Sport Hatchback. The point of attachment on the hatchback is plastic so it would fail to keep the bikes secure and damage the vehicle.
Since there are no hitches available for the hatchback model the only remaining option is a roof mounted bike rack. Without an available roof rack you would have to use one like the SeaSucker Komodo # 298-BK1910-BK for 1 bike or SeaSucker Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006 for 2 bikes.
As an alternative, you could have a local fabricator fashion a custom hitch for the Corolla using the # E17. Then you could add the # 76138 to your CX-5. With a hitch on both vehicles you could use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR.
