Thanks - I will look into that one! I appreciate the advice!

Oh yeah - I need the hatch & trunk to open freely for use on camping trips.Any suggestions for Thule fork-mount carriers?Thank you for the help.

I have a 2008 Vibe. ( LOVE IT!)What kind of load bars/cross bars should I get for the Thule criterium roof mount bike carrier? I'm also wondering if anyone has this carrier mounted to a Vibe? It looks like the easiest to use - but I just noticed how far back the factory luggage rack sits on the car ...
