Bike Rack for 2002 Maxima GLE with SPOILER

I have the unfortunate luck it seems of having a Nissan (4 door sedan) installed spoiler on my trunk, and the desire to put a bike rack on the trunk that holds 2 Mtn bikes.

I searched the forum. All the threads I was able to find are quite old, and whatever models made back then, aren't now.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a rack? Thanks in advance.

A roof-mounted bike rack is another nice option.

Saris Bones 2 (or 3 if you want a 3 bike unit). It clears the spoiler with no issues. I bought mine used off craigslist for $50 and it was great when I was using it so maybe look there and save some cash.

I just installed a tow hitch and use a hitch mount bike carrier.
Faster to setup than a trunk mount carrier and I can still access the trunk for gear.

I picked up a bicycle rack from Walmart 2 years ago and it fits perfectly below the stock spoiler and just below the tag. they also had a 3 bike model in stock when I picked up this one. here is a manufacturer's link.

I had a Yakima trunk rack that fit over the stock spoiler no issue on my old GLE.
