2022 Peugeot 5008 bike rack?

Interested Observer · 16-04-2023 12:43pm #1

Looking for advice, have just been told in Halfords they can't/won't fit a bike rack to a 5008 because of the small spoiler on the back which can't take load. I don't have roof bars or a tow bar so was hoping to get something attached to the back. Has anyone got this model of car with a bike rack and any idea where to get one in Dublin, ideally in the next week? Thanks.

Something like a seasucker or similar will work on the roof. No idea if you can buy them in an actual shop in IE.

Wouldn't a Saris Bones do the job? Halfords do indeed sell them, and they go on the back, doesn't matter if there's a spoiler like the 5008

Thanks, they told me that wasn't compatible and the Saris website also says it isn't compatible, apparently it's because the spoiler at the back is plastic and can't take any load on it. I think I'll have to go for a roof rack if anything.

You put one leg on the back window and the other two on the boot lid. I've one on my car which also has a spoiler, the Bones doesn't go anywhere near it. Am unsure what the issue is.

Where do the straps attach?

The boot lid - two are on top of the spoiler actually now that I think about it, but it doesn't pull on it because it's mounted quite high. I'll stick it on later and figure it out.

Some cars only have a plastic spoiler there, so the straps can't be secured. My avensis estate is like that

This is apparently the issue, went to Eurocycles as well and they came out and looked a the car and told me the exact same thing.

Looked at mine again, the spoiler is attached to the top of the boot lid, so the straps are attached to the top of the actual boot lid, and go straight out so they don't pull down on the spoiler itself...
