Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
There are a few trunk bike racks that are confirmed to fit your 2010 Chrysler Sebring, but my recommendation is the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 for a few of reasons. Your Sebring has an antenna that sits on top of the trunk, which the design of the Expedition will allow you to clear. To install it, you'll need to use the holes located in the vehicle frame for attaching the hooks and take extra care when attaching them on the top seal. This lightweight trunk rack comes...

Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11081 is confirmed to fit the 2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan but not the convertible model. For the convertible use Draw-Tite # 24871 that is confirmed to fit. If you're going to be towing a trailer with the Sebring then you'll need trailer wiring as well. Use # 118444 which plugs in behind both tail lights. Also the recommended ball mount is the Draw-Tite # 3594. It gives you 4 inches of rise. The compatible hitch ball is # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball...

Hitch Compatibility with Dual Exhaust on 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
The Curt Class I receiver you mentioned, part # C11081 is compatible with the Sedan model only. Draw-Tite tells me that their Class I receiver # 24871 is a fit for the 2008 Sebring Convertible, regardless of the exhaust set-up. To complete your towing set-up, you might also need the following: Vehicle wiring harness with 4-pole trailer connector, part # 118444 Drawbar # 3594 Pin and Clip # PC2 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or 2 inch trailer ball, part # 19258 To see installation...

Installation of the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch for the 2006 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, item # 24711, is fairly simple, you will need to install the hitch loosely in two existing holes and then drill two 1/2 inch holes in the frame rail. The exhaust bolt holes are not used on this vehicle. I have posted a link to the instructions for this hitch and the pictures on the product page should provide some help. Some items you may need to complete your towing setup with Class I hitch...

Recommended Bike Rack for a 2008 Sebring Convertible
You are correct the Draw-Tite 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24871 will be a great choice for your vehicle. I can help you with choosing a bike rack. I would highly recommend the Thule 2-Bike Helium # TH9042PRO. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to back of upright mast is 14-3/8 inches, see linked image. This would certainly be enough clearance for the convertible top to be opened or closed with the bikes loaded and without having to tilt the bike rack away from the vehicle. The Helium...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Chrysler Sebring Convertible for a Bike Rack
The Curt trailer hitch, # C11081, will only fit the sedan models, but I would recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 24871, over the Curt hitch any way. The reason is that the Draw-Tite hitches undergo additional voluntary testing and you do not have to use a stabilization strap for bike racks or cargo carriers like you do with the Curt hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This is a Class I trailer hitch which means only certain bike racks will...

Base Plate Kit for a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1984 will fit your 2010 Chrysler Sebring with a convertible top. This base plate kit is an excellent option as it has removable arms which provide for a clean look while not in tow. If you are also looking for a towbar to use with this base plate kit I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part # BX7380 which has a non-binding design for easy hooking/unhooking and includes safety cables. I have attached a photo of what the base plates will look like...

Solution for Carrying a Small Generator on the Back of an RV
I have a solution for you, but the # e99052 is not designed to be used as a standalone carrier; it would need to be used with the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # e99049 in order to carry any real weight. This carrier has a capacity of 500-lbs, so it would do well for carrying a generator. With that said, you may want to instead look at the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers - Steel - 200 lbs # MNT54FR, which has over...

Ground Clearance for Carrying Bikes w/ a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
First, because the Curt trailer hitch # C1190 is a Class I trailer hitch, make sure that the bike rack you use is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. If you need a compatible bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. It carries 2 bikes, fits a Class I, and comes with an integrated cable lock. You will also need a stabilizer strap like # 18050 when carrying bikes or cargo with the Curt hitch. I have included a link to a video review for you. This rack also has a rise in...

What is the Towing Capacity of a 2009 Chrysler Sebring with 2.4 Liter 4 Cylinder Engine
I found an owners manual online for the 2009 Chrysler Sebring and found that the vehicles with the 2.4 liter engine can tow up to 1,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 100 pounds tongue weight. The towing section starts on page 338 in the manual. This does limit what you can tow quite a bit so I do recommend a different towing vehicle since you will not get much of a camper under 1,000 pounds. If you do plan on towing with this vehicle then you can use hitch # 24871. The recommended...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
I would recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24871, for your 2008 Sebring Convertible, see included instructions. For a cargo carrier I would recommend the Curt Cargo Carrier, item # C18145, which is a 17 by 46 inch carrier that fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. I've attached a video of this carrier for you. If you would like to complete a towing setup you can use the T-One Wiring Harness, item # 118444, and a properly sized ball mount and hitch ball. If your trailer...

Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan
We have 2 trailer hitch options available for the 2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan- a Draw-Tite and a Curt; I recommend using the Curt # C12186 since the powder coating on the Curt hitches is a little bit more durable, so you'll have a hitch that stands up a bit better to some of the rigors of towing. If you're going to be towing with this hitch you'll also need a ball mount, hitch ball and wiring harness to power the trailer lights. For the wiring harness I recommend using the Tekonsha # 119178KIT...

What Size Transmission Lines are on a 2006 Chrysler Sebring with a 2.7L V6 Engine
The Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit is designed to allow for you to connect a rubber hose to a steel line. The lines coming from the transmission are generally steel and the aftermarket transmission coolers will almost always use rubber hoses therefore, a fitting to connect the factory steel transmission cooler lines to the rubber hoses on an aftermarket transmission cooler is needed. The factory steel transmission lines on your 2006 Chrysler Sebring are most likely a...

Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with Dual Exhaust
Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24871 will fit your 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible with dual exhaust. It can be used to tow a rental trailer. The hitch has a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity but check the vehicle owners manual to the Sebring's capacity and go by whichever is lower. You will need the proper ball mount, part # 3594. To add a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # 118444 to add a 4-Way flat connector. I have...

Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Needed for a 2009 Chrysler Sebring
We do have some roof racks that fit your 2009 Chrysler Sebring. Out of our selection I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack. This consists of the 49" Crossbars # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the DK Fit Kit # DK199. The great thing about the aero style crossbars is that they cut down on wind noise and drag when compared to traditional crossbars. The kayak carrier that I recommend using is the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. This mounts to...

Tip for Retrieving Bolt During Hitch Install Where Spacer Plate was Forgotten
If you didn't damage the bolt leader you could put it back on the bolt and see if you could feed it back towards the access hole. If you can get it close to the access hole you might be able to use a flexible retrieval magnet to get it the rest of the way out. Local car parts store would have a magnet like that.
