Hatch carrier on fiesta with large boot spoiler

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

I own a Ford Fiesta with a large boot spoiler. 

Like this:

 

Primer-grey-unpainted-ABS-sports-Car-Roo

 

Would a clip-on hatch type carrier even fit?

No. I have one that I use with a Polo, definitely will not work with that spoiler.

Those clip on carriers damage the body work I would steer well clear. My recommendation would be bite the bullet and go for a towbar and get a thule express best solution to transport a bike IMHO

If that is an Ecoboost with aero kit don't spoil it by putting a towbar on. Best option IMO would be a roof setup.. I would go for the fork clamp setup though. There are specific ones for thru-axle and quick release. Im sure your park sensors going to go off everytime you hit reverse gear

yoh guys. no need to diss my baby.

 

And I don't need a boyfriend with a bakkie to do things for me either ;)

 

Rather respect an self-sufficient lady asking for technical advice  :wub:

 

Roof racks would be the better option. Sometimes those black channels on each side of the roof have slots for roof racks, not sure if yours does?

I have the same problem with my RunX. 

It's a No No for a clip on. 

Expensive exercise if you don't have a tow bar and you want a bike rack.
