trunk rack & fin

I bought a used car yesterday . It has one of those silly trunk lid fins. My trunk lid rack is lent out to someone. But what is your experience with a trunk fin and a rack? I already hear you saying, just depends!! I thought I'ld ask anyway.

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

By fin do you mean a horizontal wing?

A Saris Bones rack will span many wings but I doubt it will work with all of them so I'm going to say "just depends".

Even the resources of rack manufacturers can't always determine whether a rack will fit every possible car and option of said car. For us to be able to say so with the supplied info (or lack of) requires us to have a crystal ball.

As long as the rack frame/feet and the straps don't contact the spoiler you'll be fine. Until you trial fit the rack to the car that's all anyone can say. Andy.
