I recommend the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7186 for your 2012 Chevy Volt. After going through the instructions I can verify that it does not attach to your trunk and only attaches to the frame of your car inside the bumper beam. I have linked an installation video. This receiver has 2k lbs capacity trailer weight and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight.
The EcoHitch receiver is made specifically for the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, it does not fit on the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. There... view full answer...
The best trunk mount bike rack for a 2012 Chevrolet Volt is the Thule OutWay bike racks because they provide features and conveniences that their competition doesn't offer all in one package. The OutWay comes in a 2 bike version, # TH45JV, and a 3 bike version, # TH56BV.
As far as fit is concerned, all of the trunk mount bike rack options that fit your Volt will mount in almost the same fashion. What sets the Raceway Pro apart is that is uses 2 retractable coated metal cables rather than... view full answer...
The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting # WT82731 help to keep any rain out while reducing wind noise when you have your windows cracked for circulation of air. Any air pressure difference that you are feeling will not be reduced. These are quick and easy to install and have been confirmed to fit your 2014 Chevrolet Volt. view full answer...
I have a great roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that they currently do not have any customized roof rack components or setups that work with your 2013 Chevy Volt (with or without the Thule Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R).
However, with that being said, Inno makes a great system that fits your bare roof. For that system, you need the following components:
- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked... view full answer...
Yes, the Inno Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Channel Mounted - Aluminum # INXA391 has t-bolts that are compatible with Yakima aero bars like the JetStream # Y00426 that have the t-slot channel on top for a clean looking install. If you have the Yakima CoreBar crossbar like # Y00421 then they are not compatible because those aero bars don't have the top channel T-Slot. view full answer...
The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11221 is confirmed to fit your 2011 Chevrolet Volt. This trailer hitch offers a 1-1/4 inch receiver, with a 100 pound tongue weight and 1,000 pound towing capacity. Drilling is required to install the hitch and then the hitch will bolt to the frame with the included hardware. The Curt warranty for this hitch requires all non-trailer loads to be supported with a support strap, # 18050. view full answer...
The correct trailer hitch for your 2011 Chevrolet Volt is the Curt # C11221. This hitch receiver is a Class I and has a gross trailer weight of 1,000 pounds and a tongue weight of 100 pounds.
If you also need trailer wiring the correct harness for your Volt is # C59496. For a ball mount # C45521 and for a hitch ball either # A-82 for a 2 inch or # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch. Finally, # F-4 for a pin and clip. view full answer...
Yes, the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Volt. According to Yakima you will use the Hub Setting 2 and locate the base pad 1/4" up from the bumper.
Please note to use an Adapter Bar # Y02531 if you're planning on transporting any kids bikes or bikes that don't have a horizontal top tube like what you see with a standard men's bike. This helps the bike to fit and sit level on the rack. view full answer...
If you don't already have a trailer hitch for your 2017 Chevy Volt, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # C11436 which is a custom fit. This hitch will have a measurement of 5-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper. You will also need the required stabilizer strap # 18050.
If you want a clamp style frame mount bike rack, then I recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4412B... view full answer...
Saris tested their Bones trunk rack part # SA805BL on a 2015 Chevy Volt just like yours and found that as long as you stayed under the weight capacity of the rack you'd be safe. The rack has a 35 lb per bike capacity. With trunk racks most of the weight ends up resting on the lower feet of the rack and not so much on the upper straps. Your glass will not get damaged using this rack. view full answer...
I recommend using the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633, which will fit on all 3 vehicles. The FullBack has adjustable arms to help keep the bikes level during travel and comes with integrated locks to allow you to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. The FullBack uses an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to fit the shape of your trunk or hatch, so it's go the flexibility you need in a high quality Yakima bike rack.

The impact structure behind the rear bumper fascia of your 2017 Chevrolet Volt is not structurally strong enough to support a receiver. This is why instead of replacing the impact structure the available Curt # C11436, Draw-Tite # 24947 and EcoHitch # 306-X7338 mount behind the structure. The impact structure is also designed to help absorb impact in a collision while the receiver is designed to support the weight when towing or carrying additional weight. I do feel the EcoHitch is the... view full answer...
I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2014 Chevy Volt and it is able to be towed via dolly so what I highly recommend for a dolly is the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713046 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to use than other dollies. The Kar Kaddy 3 tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. These dollies also have a... view full answer...
Some drums can be used with hydraulic or electric brakes and others cannot. You would have to check with the drum manufacturer unless it specifically says on the drum somewhere.
You mentioned a ridge which would indicate to me that you may not be able to use electric brakes with the hubs you have. The magnet does need a flat surface to attach to. This is called the armature surface. The less surface area there is on the armature surface the weaker the connection between the magnet and... view full answer...
The Curt # C11436 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevrolet Volt. There isn't a lot of trimming to the fascia. A 3" inch by 5" inch rectangular hole will need to be cut into the underbody panel. See the picture I attached from the install instructions. You can see this on page 6 of the instructions that I attached for you and on the installation video to learn more.

Yes, there is an Inno roof rack that fits your 2019 Chevy Volt with a naked roof that will allow you to carry a kayak. The roof rack you were referring to is made up of three parts - the bars, feet, and fit kit. The correct parts for your '19 Volt are the following:
- Inno Square Crossbars # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSUT
- Custom Fit Kit # INK688
Then for the easiest loading of your kayak on the roof rack, I recommend a J-style carrier, which will allow you to load... view full answer...

Item # HRLHPTC are standard threads and are designed for use with Commuter (HR2500), Traveler (HR6000, HR6000, HR8000, HR8500, HR9200), Trail Rider (HR200), and 2-bike Sport Rider (HR1000, HR1000R) racks. view full answer...
The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 referenced in your question uses a front stainless steel strap and a rear bracket to clamp around roof rack crossbars. This mounting hardware will work just fine with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 that you are installing on your vehicle. You will not need to add any type of adapter to make these two components compatible. They will work perfectly together.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out. view full answer...
The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629706 is a bit large for a 2017 Chevrolet Volt. It would fit but you might not be able to open the hatch fully with the box installed. Instead, I recommend the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH614 which will be the perfect size and it will allow you to open up the hatch as we have tested this ourselves. view full answer...
According to our friends at Thule, theirOutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH45JV and TH56BV will indeed fit a 2011-12 Chevy Volt. It will work with a vehicle that has a stock spoiler.
Does this mean the OutWay will fit your Opel Ampera? I took a look at the rear end of the Ampera and it appears that it is almost exactly like the Volt.
The OutWay should be able to handle an electric bike as long as the weight capacity of the rack is not exceeded. The 2 bike version of the Raceway # TH45JV... view full answer...
