Will the Thule Gateway Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Mazda CX-9
Question:
Just making sure it would work w/this make/model before purchase. Also, in the video he states the gateway pro does not need the womens adapter strap. Is that true, since I noticed it is pictured as a recommended item to also purchase? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Thule Gateway Pro # TH78VR is listed as a fit for the 2012 Mazda CX-9. The adapter bar # TH982XT is not required unless you had a step-trough type of frame since the arms of the rack move independently of each other and the rest of the rack. A traditional woman's bike frame would not need the adapter bar.
