Do you want to be able to use the bike rack and tow at the same time? If you do then I think your options are going to be very limited. If you're just using the bike rack then a direct tow ball mounted rack would be a better option as already mentioned. I have an Altera Strada DL3 with 4th bike extension, it's a fantastic bit of kit. I can't compare it to the Thule but I wouldn't fault it at all and highly recommend it. The slide away function to access the boot is very useful! It fits effortlessly on both my V70 with fixed flange tow ball and C70 with detachable swan neck.
But either way whether you are using whilst also towing or not I think you may need to get a new rack.
