Rear Cycle Carrier Ford Fiest - dav3m
Hi - I'm looking at a rear mount cycle carrier for my ford fiesta 5dr 1.25 zetec, W reg (2000).

I've been looking at the Thule 978 ( www.roofrackshop.co.uk/Car-Products/Bike-Racks-and...x)

Some sites say you can't use a rear mount cycle carrier if you have spoiler. Does anyone know what cycle carriers I should be looking at?

Many thanks

I would suggest your thule would be ok so long as the clips go over the spoiler at the top of the tailgate and actually grip the metal
if they dont then nothing would be suitable as this is where most forces are to throw everything off
is there a dealer that can confirm this is suitable near you? rather than an internet site?
