Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2010 Jeep Compass

The Hollywood Racks Expedition trunk mount bike carrier # HRF6-2 is not a fit for the 2010 Jeep Compass. But we do have several trunk mount bike carriers that will fit. I have included a link to them for you.

I recommend either the Over-the-Top rack for 2 bikes, # HRF2, or the 3-bike version, # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over any rear spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. When properly installed the bike carriers will be solid and would work great for long-distance highway travel.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
