Since installing our Thule bike carrier, the tailgate doesn't stay up. I don't need it to stay up with bikes on (as that would be slightly daft) but as its our daily vehicle, I do need the tailgate to stay open without bikes on it.

There's a perfect space for it, but just not there. Two questions: I would like to get it done professionally, does this have to ...

Your requirements are similar to ours, we went for the Thule 973 which enables you to retain the spoiler. We wanted to take up to four bikes but as standard the 973 is for two, and you can add one or two more bike rails. We used the 973-02 fitting kit but the 973-18 works too. Some photos below of ...

We have 3 year old twins and all of us are going for a week's touring around the Scottish Highlands next week. It's our only car, and we have a double buggy, and my question is this: Has anyone ever...
