Not the Thule quality I've come to know
I've used this bike rack twice. The initial installation instructions were not easy to understand and the plastic ratcheting straps are difficult to get undone when I need to get my bike off. The rack does not seem nearly as sturdy as my other Thule products. I will only be using this for trips to local trailheads.

Easy to install
So far so good. Easy to install- did it in the dark with a headlamp and only had to refer to the instruction guide a couple times. Hoping this will last as long as my previous one, 15 or so years.

Thule Bike Carrier
Great fit and great value for the money. It is quiet and easy to install and keeps my bike on easily. I have great confidence that it will keep my bike safe.

Great for occasional bike transport.
I found this rack easy to install and use. However this style is easy to be stolen off the car - just cut one piece of webbing. I regret not adding a tow hitch to my car and going that direction for a bike carrier.

Terrible design - damaged car during first use
This rack design is awful. The instructions are just pictures with no words. Instructions direct reader to go to website to determine fit dial setting, yet that info is nowhere to be found on website. Bottom straps do not stay secure to car while driving. Rack dented by trunk during first use.

Rack
Concerned with the top clips, feels it's not a good fit. Did use it to drive 40 miles with no issues.

Horrible Instructions
It's bad enough that the instructions are all pictures and it's difficult to understand what they're telling you to do, but they removed the fit guide from their website that the instructions have you reference to determine the setting on the bike rack for your car. A complete waste of my Sunday afternoon trying to find a fit guide online that someone might have posted so I can install my bike rack.

Not the quality I expected from Thule
The rack fits my wife's Nissan Altima just fine and if you tighten the straps before every use it is stable. However, no matter how tight we pull the straps holding the bike in place, highway bumps dislodge the bike and it nearly falls off while driving. We routinely have to stop along the road and re situate the bike on the rack. Not what we are looking for.
