We have used it on a honda fit with a hatchback and spoiler and it worked fine

Don't think so. The Hatchback 16 is actually too small for our needs and I will be sending it back.

It'll fit on just about any car but depending on what type you have, e.g. SUV, sedan, etc., the choice of what to carry on it will vary! You might have to get a hitch extension that can lower or raise the top height in order to open/close your hatchback. Totally depends on what type of luggage/freight/box-whatever you plan to use with it. Figure that out and then you can see what type of extension/adapter you need! I use a waterproof luggage bag with mine and it works great on the truck or Mercedes GLK350 I have! Watch the weight!!

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.

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?

2013 Civic is a different body style. Better check with the manufacturer of the spoiler.

I put the unit on my 07 M-35 which does have a spoiler, and the unit stands off the top of and the back of the trunk lid 3-1/2" clears the spoiler by 3". The unit locks at a 90*angle top to back and has a foot kicker that rests on the license plate... You may be able to use a framing square and 2x4 (3-1/2") blocks to mock it up to check clearances on spoiler.

My Mazda CX5 has a "spoiler" on the top of rear hatch. The rack does not interfere. Look at a Mazda CX5 and see if yours is the same. Or go to Thule.com

I believe it will if you adjust the straps on the top properly I do believe the bumpers will fit over the spoiler. The spoiler itself may even provide some reinforcement.

Possibly, they work great on the hatchback, but I would be concerned about the heat of the BBQ grill.

Yes... We installed these on my son's 2003 eclipse and it has the factory spoiler. They work great!

Good morning, Thanks for your question. Unfortunately this pet barrier was designed for the estate model of this car and not the hatchback, so it would not fit the hatchback version. Apologies that we could not be of more help and please don't hesitate to get back in touch if you have any further questions. Kind regards, Hannah Travall

I put it on the spoiler, so no. But yes, if you want to put it on the sides you need two of them (they send you one).

You really need to call the bike rack company. It did not fit my Toyota celica with a spoiler. Only Hollywood can answer that question

Hello,The rack will fit on a Fiat 500 pop without a spoiler. It will not fit on any other model.

No, it does not work on cars with spoilers. Found out the hard way. The model above the super joe 3 is the one you want.

Measure the widest part end to end. I used mine for a nissan versa hatchback oem spoiler.
