Today on our 2012 Subaru Impreza, we'll be test fitting the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier.
This is a trunk mounted bike carrier, part number TH9006. Now after setting up the bike
rack as indicated in the instructions included with the bike rack, we're ready to fit it
to the vehicle. We'll place the bike rack so that the bottom arm is resting on the rear
bumper. We're holding that in place. We'll take our two top straps and hook them in the
opening between the rear deck lid and the top of the vehicle.
We'll pull them snug just to help hold the bike rack in place. We'll then move to the
lower straps where we'll put the straps underneath the deck lid between the deck lid and the
rear bumper and on the side of the deck lid just above the rear tail lights. With all
our straps in place, we can go ahead and tighten them down, securing our bike rack to the vehicle.
Now, we'll go ahead and undo the clamps that will allow us to bring out each arm. With
the arms out, we can undo the straps to expose
our cradles.
