Default Will this work on my roadster?

Looks like nobody on here has done anything like it.



And before everyone suggests searching, I did. I found three topics from 2005-2006 that were not informative.

At a quick look, does it look like any one of these racks would work on a 2007 Roadster?

PS...I'm installing my Eclipse head unit today after work!! Can't wait.

Why the hostility?

1) It's not your car.

2) The rack will be put on right before I leave with the bike, and removed immediately when I return.

3) Are you that bored/moronic that you really had to post that?

did you even try the "find a rack" function on the site? this is what i came up with for your car...


Racks for your trunk:
No Fit Sorry. No trunk racks were found for that make, model, and year of car. To speak with a customer service representative about available alternatives, call 1-800-783-7257.

and unless you plan on installing a trailer hitch... I suggest you give that number a call. they would know more than anyone else here, unless you want me to call for you? (which i will if you really want, im bored)

also, dont argue to a "point" because
1) see 2
2) see 3
3) argue to get results. You dont have to prove yourself to online people.

however i did a search for your eclipse you mentioned... there are some results.

Who is arguing? I merely stated two facts, and asked you a question.

Of course I searched on the site. I am aware that they say none of them work for the car. I have a cousin who has a bike rack that the manufacturers said do not work on his car, but he put it on and it has been working for two years, and he doesn't remove it. So it may be possible that someone has used one of the racks before with success, despite the manufacturers claims.

i'm a very avid mountain biker.... and i've had the saris bones rack before. it could work, possibly, but the bottom 2 'feet' work best when they can rest at the top portion of a bumper...one that has a 'ledge' of sorts. but it's still held by straps that clip into the top and bottom of the trunk itself...and would most likely hold one bike for short trips. i wouldn't load more than one, or ride on highways.

too much damage could occur to both the car and the bike to make it worth it, IMHO.

That's what I figured. I have an extremely light road bike, and dont plan on going more than a few miles.

Ask them what? This is what will happen:

"No, sir, we do not have any racks available for your car."

"Well, can I try it and put it on anyway?"

"Yes, at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damage that occurs."
