Nope. Mine goes up on the roof, but because of the relatively soft materials from which the tailgate is made I'd personally not attempt it.

Follow the advice of Whyman earlier. It's only a single bike, loads aren't great, so I'm sure it will be fine. Images seem to indicate that people fit this unit to many, many different vehicles with success.

An alternative might be to remove the wheel and put the bike into the caravan whilst you travel?

Thanks for the reply.
I did have one fitted to the sorento that I have and it worked okay whilst towing the van to Seahouses.
The concern that I had was /is the split tailgate ,that is why I asked specifically for pictures on a Xc90 as the interwebs is not showing any.i will go ahead but use the hatch type straps on top and bottom
Thanks
Mike

Remember that the top door of the tailgate is fiberglass. It is not metal.
