Any new ideas on a Bike rack for tailgate with spoiler

[Scrumpy]

Having reread posts on tailgate bike racks and the lack of for AMG or spoiler add ons
Has anyone got any information on models that fit

I’m not expecting there to be any
but you never know

As mentioned before I live full time in van, so tow bar models - no good

thanks all

Why are tow bar models not suitable ?

? cumbersome, sensors affected, restricts parking i.e supermarkets, tailgate hassle
Just things I’ve previously thought.
Full time any of above become a real pain
Tailgate rack is always out the way and ready to go

We have a Thule rack that allows the tailgate to open but obviously doesn’t address the other issues.I assume with a tailgate rack you would have to remove bikes in order to open the tailgate. Good luck with your search for a solution.

Sadly Thule no longer supply a rack for the MP but Fiamma do sell one. The one I have is here: V Class Premium. Works well but you need to be mindful that the tailgate will sag a bit so before opening, I take the bike off, help it up and then make sure it's closed straight afterwards to avoid straining the door mechanism. I also got mine used (it fits the Vito/Viano) so it was a bit of a bargain.
