Has anyone bought or built a bike rack for their sedan. I was looking at installing a class III hitch so I can run a bike rack off the reciever. Canadian Tire sells them fairly cheap but before I buy i wanted to see what you guys have done.

any help or advise

does anyone carry a bike...

I know the hitch just bolts onto the frame. The holes are already drilled. Its a simple process. Takes longer to find the holes and get the car high enough to put the hitch on.

Thats great news, now I can do it myself as I was a little worried about drilling holes for the hitch.

Thanks

I looked at those, but can't use it because of the spoiler...

I previously had a VW Jetta with a spoiler, and I was still able to use a Thule Speedway 2 trunk mount bike carrier. It has a great range of adjustability so it will most likely fit your trunk if your spoiler is not tall. However, if you go the route of trunk mounted bike carrier i suggest wrapping the anchor hooks in something (i used electrical tape) because without it it did leave a small chip in the trunk lid, but with it wrapped, there was no issue. Even though; with the purchase of my Forte I gave the bike rack to my brother when I gave him the car because I am obsessive about the exterior appearance of my vehicles, and I did not want to risk a single scratch or chip.

That is perfect. Thank you very much for the photo's. Do you have the suppliers phone number or a website as i'm from Canada.

Since your in Canada It would probably be best if you just Google Curt Hitch for Kia Sedan. I think I got mine from etrailer.com on black Friday when everything was on sale. If you do a search you can find better deals. The price can vary up to $50

My older saris trunk rack I have fits fine. Going to a hitch mount saris rack in the spring. Saris does not have the koup listed as a fit on there site but if you call them directly they will inform you which trunk racks fit. Fit guide needs to be updated.
