Bike Rack Options for a 2011 Nissan Rogue with Rear Spoiler

Question:

Good morning, I have a nissan rouge 2011 with spoiler and I was looking for those bike racks that basically get attached by using a string that goes behind the door but since my car has a spoiler I have not been able to find one. is there a product you can recommend? Im looking for a bike rack for 3 bikes. Also I do not have that bottom peace where I can insert rack from the bottom...is my car missing something? Please let me know.

I have just the bike rack for you. Check out the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3. This bike rack was designed for vehicles with a spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. It has a third arm that routes the top straps up and over the spoiler contact and possible damage. I have attached a demonstration video of this bike rack on a 2013 Nissan Rogue with the rear spoiler for you.

I believe the bottom piece you're talking about is a trailer hitch. The Rogue does not usually come with this from the factory, but it can be added. It is not required to use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top bike racks.

If you are interested in a hitch and hitch mount bike rack, I recommend installing the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13204. There are several hitch mount bike racks to choose from so I attached a link to our entire selection for you to look over. One of my favorite bike racks is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack, # NV22G.

I have attached videos of the trailer hitch and Kuat bike rack for you to check out
