Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2014 and 2013 Ford Edge
Question:
I would like to know if the Thule gateway or archway 3 bikes fit on a Ford Fiesta ST 2014 and also a Edge 2013. I dont want to use a Hitch Bike Rack because its more expensive and I change car each 2 years. Some people say that the little spoiler of these 2 vehicles could be damaged. Thanks.

I have a solution for you that would work better than the Thule Archway you referenced that is confirmed to fit both of your vehicles. Check out the Hollywood Rack Over-The-Top bike rack part # HRF2-3.
This rack is specifically designed to fit vehicles with spoilers and does so without putting any pressure on them that might damage them. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
