Hi,

I'm looking for a bike carrier for the A2.

Will the Thule one fit ?? The A2 is not listed on the recommended car guide, but that's no suprise.

This is the Thule clipon 9101, it can carry three bikes it can weigh 45 kilograms. Can the rear door support this ?? The top straps will be mounted on the glass...

NOPE!!! Don't do the Thule! The only thing holding it at the top is the leading edge of the glass! You don't want to hang a bike from the glass now would you?!! Roof bars and towbar the only options as Lee said. Though in saying that Frido did once post of a roofrack with special brackets at the top that you fit to the car and then the rack... look under archives I would suggest. He posted a website address as well.
