Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2007 Honda Civic Si Coupe with Rear Spoiler

Question:

Will this mount fit with the factory spoiler of the 2007 Honda Civic Si coupe?

Because of where the Thule OutWay # TH45JV needs to mount to the vehicle it is very unlikely that it will fit over the spoiler on your 2007 Honda Civic Si Coupe.

The only trunk mount rack that is going to work without any fit issues is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack is built with an additional arm piece that moves the straps up and over the spoiler so no part of the rack is putting stress on the spoiler. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

f you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
