Question:
Will the Thule Gateway Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack fit on a 2010 Toyota Corolla S?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule Gateway # TH78VR may be a little too low profile for the spoiler that is on the 2010 Toyota Corolla S so I would not recommend it. But I do have an excellent solution for you. Take a look at the Saris Bones, # SA803. This rack is a great fit for Corollas with a spoiler so I recommend it.
This rack has better up and over abilities for vehicles with spoilers compared to the Gateway. In other words it has a higher and farther reach. Take a look at the video review I have linked of this rack.
If 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.
