Has anyone found a one or two bike rack which will fit on our car? Am I going to have to install a hitch receiver and go that route? I've searched and found nothing and even heard back from Thule that they do not have one. Hell of a note from a Swede company, eh?

 

hitch receiver required

 

I agree, Master Sgt. I found this one for only $125 on Amazon and the installation video shows a simple, 30 minute job. Thanks

trailer hitch+ rack is the way to go - a class I hitch goes for about $125-150 (check out etrailer.com) and bolts in prefab'd in about half an hour. The only other option is to try to find a rack that grabs onto the trunk lid. Not desireable as you can't operate the top with that on and you risk the paint. Besides once you have the trailer hitch you can do other things like tow that log splitter or mower trailer and start a new career... (although I like the idea of those coolers that mount on the hitch the fishing crowd uses)

 

Got the hitch and bike rack on my 97
