if I have a rear spoiler, would this particular Trunk Mount work best for me? I need something that would fit under the spoiler. thank you.

I have a spoiler on my hyundai sonata, but it doesnt have air space underneath. It depends how high it is, but on the safe side I would say it may not... The piping is about 2 inch thick with rubber cushions at about 3 inchs. Hope this helps!...

It is impossible to answer that without knowing the make & model of your car with the rear spoiler. You can check the fit list o Allen's website for an answer. in any case, I would avoid this carrier. It is flimsy feeling and has no lateral stability. I won't trust it to carry any of my bikes.

I have a 1999 Olds with a spoiler. Trunk Mount works very well over the spoiler. Highly unlikely that the rack would work under the spoiler.

I have a KIA Optima SX that has the small flush-type "spoiler" - would that be ok? Its not a raised, off the trunk spoiler...please and thank you!

Tried installing it on my 2010 Q5, but the top hooks seem to be resting on the spoiler (plastic) and not the steel trunk door. Not sure if this is correct - and I don't want to risk ripping off the spoiler. Were these installs done using the hooks or the hatch anchors?

Audi nice car. Not filmilar with this vehicle. But the mount is shaped like a fork and it comes with other hardware to mount. But just depends how much you love your car. But if you can get at the front seat track bolt that holds the seat to the floor of the car. Should be fine. I would find a matching bolt that is no more than a 1/4" longer to make sure everything is tight. Do not over tighten. You can break the bolt. Tighten to snug than a slight tug. Than back away from the bolt. Later.

Spoiler may be problematic unless there is enough room under it to run the ties. Leading them atop the spoiler can ruin it so it's not advisible. It stays secure on the highway, I drive with two bikes without any problem

I used rack on a 2010 Mercury Milan with spoiler. I don't know about other car makes.

I really can not say on your car without seeing it. I can only tell you that your car needs to have a bumper or spoiler that has a flat mounting base for the plate to be bolted to. The plate mount will reduce your clearance by about an inch, which may create a problem since your suspension has already been lowered. Maybe you can mount the workings above your spoiler or bumper in your grill. Where ever you mount, you will require enough depth in or under your grill to allow the plate to fold inside.I mounted my plate under the spoiler on my 2012 Challenger and looks and works just fine. Look at a Challenger and compare to your car. Good luck. I really can not say on your car without seeing it.

If your car has a spoiler, I would say that this rack wouldn't fit. The reason being is because, when strapped to the trunk, the rack itself pushes against the top of the trunk, right about where your spoiler would be.

I'm not an expert but I'm not sure its going to work with that type of trunk. There are two hooks that have to attach to the top seam, two for the sides and one for the bottom of the bumper. Check with a good bike shop for advice on your car. Someone's dealt with your problem.

Hay buddy, I installed into a Kawasaki concourse. Originally installed on stock mount between radiator and front tire. The horn is big so that didn't work which ment I needed to relocate under the plastics and fabercate my own mount. I spent a rediculus amount of time tinkering but, like messing with my bike. Hay man I say go for it. Given enough time and imagination you can make anything work. I needed the extension cable to "Y" connect it from my battery and original horn cable, so be sure to get one of those. The horn itself is loud and much improved over the stock one. Good luck!

You can adjust the angle so it is possible the it will work w spoiler. They have a list of automobile compatibility and I think the list includes the settings the rack should be opened to. I have a flush spoiler on my car and it's no problem but I can see that a big spoiler might get on the way.

There are actually two sets of mounts to allow the rack to work on more that one style of cross member - it's extrememly versatile. I have a 2014 Subaru Outback and they work fantastic. I drove 5 hours one way, mostly high speed interstate but also hilly curvy small hwy road - performed flawlesly. If your cross members have a bow to them, you will want to mount the rack in the middle if it's improtant that you have your bike perfectly upright. if its flat, the side is fine. good luck

I haven't tried it on that car specifically but I don't think it will fit with the spoiler because the arms don't bend.

Just look at the picture and install it exactly like the pic, the metal hooks slide right into the grooves of your trunk, you do not need to open your trunk to install, it is really easy, just make sure you tighten the straps. I don't think it will work if you have a spoiler on your trunk.

Yeah. It'll work. Bought this rack and put it on a similar suv that had a small spoiler above rear window and it works well without the straps rubbing on the spoiler or anything. I was worried that the clips to secure the top of the rack wouldn't seat into the top of the rear door jamb because of the spoiler but the rack came with adapters that allow you to connect the straps to the rear of your roof rack.

Right above the picture is a "select your vehicle" option. Type in your vehicle to see if it fits....there are trunk mount racks also. Make sure you get one that has at least 5 straps. You need the side straps to help keep it stable.

Brad, not sure if it will fit or not. After I ordered this bracket we found one that came with the car still in the package by the spare tire! So you might want to check the trunk first!
