So the only two models that would fit my car (and possibly others with similar spoilers) are the Yakima Quickback and the Saris Guardian. The Saris Bones is very close but still manages to contact the spoiler a bit.

The Quickback is readily available at Racks Unlimited South and The Saris Bones are available at almost any bike shop. (See the guys at The Bike Shop on 11th!!)

The fine folks at Bike Bros. out of Cochrane have been able to order me a Guardian as they have since discontinued the model...but I know for sure that it fits and is the cheapest of the three. One great thing about it is that there is much more clearance between the car and the rack with the Guardian than the Quickback.

Thanks for the help folks and may this somehow help others later on. CP is such a great place for information, hockey related or not.
