Bike Rack for 96' Celica?

[Redd96]

I have a 25th Anniversary '96 Celica with spoiler and I'm looking for a bike rack to fit on the hatchback. The spoiler has always been a problem in the past, but I haven't looked recently. Does anyone know of a bike rack that will work?
Thanks!!!

There is a full explanation on what I did there. Hope this helps. I think your bumper has weld nuts on there too. Good luck

I have a Thule "trunk mount" rack that when adjusted properly, should fit. I have a '92 GT vert, I put the bottom of the rack on top of the bumper, and adjust "bend/angle" of rack so it clears the spoiler and rests on the trunk lid. Cinch the straps down and you're good to go...have used this rack for a few years on different vehicles, is very versatile and functional. I have the bottom end rack, but I believe all the Thule trunk mounts, when adjusted correctly, can be used on a Celi with a spoiler. The worst thing about trunk mounts is they're easy to steal (you can run a cable lock through the rack and under the car to something - shipping hold-downs or whatever. I usually run a cable lock through the bike frame/front wheel and rack and under car, and then u-lock the frame to the rack as well. Have not had a bike or rack stolen in years of long road trips....at least not yet ).
