  • Battery Life On the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light
  • I contacted the manufacturer in regards to this question. Per the manufacturer the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light - Weatherproof - Magnetic Base - 23" Long - 7-Way Round # LIW-LDTL-7B should be fine for several weeks after a full charge, if it is just sitting on the shelf. They recommend that if you use the light bar during the day, you should plug in the charger and get power to it during the night. That way it will always be ready to go. Once fully charged, the bar should last 6-8...

  • Thule Doubletrack Platform Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Honda Accord
  • Yes, as long as you have a hitch installed on your 2006 Honda Accord you would be able to install a Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Carrier # TH92BJ. If you do not have a hitch installed on your vehicle already I would recommend you get a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24787. I attached an installation video for this product also.

  • Will Yakima FullBack Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan
  • Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack trunk mount bike carrier # Y02634 will fit your 2009 Honda Accord Sedan. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them...

  • Trimming Of Heat Shields Required When Installing Trailer Hitch On 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid
  • I checked out the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11681 that fits your 2015 Accord. Per the instructions, in step 2 the heat shields on both sides will need to be removed and trimmed to allow installation of the hitch. On page 6 of the instructions there is a trimming diagram that shows the measurements for the trimmed area on the shields. As the instructions state, one of the fasteners will not be used when re-installing the shields.

  • Can Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier S510 Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2009 Honda Accord
  • The Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 is designed to carry a single 99 lb kayak so you would need 2 of these if you're wanting to carry 2 kayaks with your 2009 Honda Accord. For a single rack that can carry 2 kayaks you'll need something like the Yakima BigStack # Y04041 instead. To attach a carrier to your Accord you're going to need a roof rack kit as well and for that I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex setup which includes the following: 49" Vortex Aero Crossbars - # RRVA126B-2 2500...

  • Will Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Affect Sunroof Operation?
  • Yes, the front cross bar will be over some part of a sunroof. The clearance under the cross bar is right around 75mm. Many users find that they can just open the roof a little bit to vent air out, but not fully open it. This is an issue for all sunroofs.

  • Parts for 2016 Honda Accord Sport to Allow Towing a Trailer
  • To transport your Italian Ice cart on your 2016 Honda Accord you would need a hitch that has enough weight capacity for the combined weight of the 350-lb loaded cart plus the weight of the hitch carrier you load it on. Unfortunately, the only hitches available for your 2016 Honda Accord are the light-duty Class I type, like Curt Hitch item # C11681, which have a maximum weight capacity of only 200-lbs. So unfortunately, there is no way to use a hitch cargo carrier on this vehicle for your...

  • Correct Motor Support Toggle That is 4-1/2" Long and 1-1/2" Wide for a Worn Transom Saver
  • What you're needing is the Replacement Motor Support Toggle for Jif Marine Transom Saver # 315-FXL. This part measures 4-1/2" long, 1-9/32" wide (1/32" larger than what you measured), and is made from a cast iron body which is corrosion resistant. Also, this part does come with replacement mounting hardware so you won't have to worry about getting that as well.

  • Is Trailer Hitch Towing Capacity A Flexible Figure
  • With trailer hitches there is no safe wiggle room beyond what they state as the official capacity for it. So with the Curt hitch part # C11085 we cannot safely recommend you exceed the 200 lb capacity. There also isn't a higher rated hitch available for your vehicle.

  • What is the Lightest Bike Rack Available for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670 weighs right around 33 lbs. This will actually be one of the lightest platform style bike racks we offer. It has a 3" raised shank which will help with ground clearance and it can be folded into itself for easy storage. If you would like to lock the bike rack to the vehicle then you can do so using part # S64029. If you would like to lock this bike rack to the vehicle then you can do so using part # ACC3250.

  • Will Curt Class I hitch C11525 Fit Hybrid Model of 2018 Honda Accord
  • The Curt hitch # C11525 you'd looked at is not a fit for hybrid models of the Honda Accord and we do not currently have a hitch for the hybrid. Please let me know if a roof rack or a trunk mounted bike rack would meet your needs. We are here to help.

  • Best Trunk Floor Mat Recommendation for a 1994 Honda Accord
  • The WeatherTech Floor mat part # WT40043 would be your best option I believe. The outer edge of the mat is raised to act like a tray so that when it comes time to remove the mat and clean it the dirt will be trapped on the mat and will prevent it from escaping in to the trunk of your 1994 Honda Accord.

  • Light Duty Trailer for Honda Accord to Carry 100 lb Kayak
  • The Malone EcoLight Sport Boat Trailer part # MAL73FR would be a great option because it's lighter weight which will be easier on your tow vehicle, has the weight capacity for your kayak, and also is easy to load and unload. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this as well.

  • Is There A 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 Touring?
  • Currently I only see a 1-1/4" Receiver # 24972 available for your 2018 Honda Accord. We do have an Adapter # HT5R which can be used to convert the 1-1/4" to a 2" but this will reduce the rated capacity by 50%. So for the receiver it would then max out at 100lbs of tongue weight depending on your cargo load. I have heard of people either having their own receiver fabricated or altering a receiver with a different Tube # 325-GH-002. But understand this will void any warranty from the receiver...

  • Recommended Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2005 Honda Accord
  • You are correct in how the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver -Class I - 1-1/4" # C11290 is mounted. This hitch has been tested to hold a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs and a maximum trailer towing weight of 2,000 lbs when loaded. A riding lawn mower on a small trailer is probably at close to the maximum capacity of this hitch, so I recommend calculating the weights before doing this as your owners manual states 1000 lbs towing max and 100 lbs tongue weight. For your trailer wiring, I recommend...

  • Fit and Compatibility of Thule Passage 2 Trunk Rack TH910XT on the 2017 Honda Accord
  • The Thule Passage 2 trunk-mount bike rack # TH910XT is a confirmed fit on the 2017 Honda Accord 4-door sedan and also the 2-door coupe. The Passage 2 allows for two bikes of up to 35-lbs each to be transported and installation is simplified through Thule's patented FitDial adjustment system. As long as the bikes have a top frame tube they will fit perfectly on the rack, but if not all you need is an adapter bar # UB01 which connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a substitute...

  • How to Make Trailer Wiring Harness Easier to Unplug From Trailer
  • I'd recommend using some dielectric grease, like part # 11755. Not only will the grease prohibit moisture from entering the connections and protect them from corrosion, it will make the connection easier to plug together or to separate.

  • Best Trailer Hitch For The 2011 Honda Accord Sedan and Bike Rack
  • I do have a hitch that fits your 2011 Honda Accord Sedan but the EcoHitch Trailer hitch part # 306-X7299 is designed for the 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour model. I recommend the Class I 1-1/4" Curt trailer hitch part # C11496 because it provides a half inch more ground then the other options. The extra ground clearance is helpful when you are carrying a bike rack because the rack is less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations. The Curt can handle up to 200 lbs of tongue...

  • Thule Karrite 1600 Lid Lifter/Hinge Availability
  • If the lid lifter/hinge on your Thule Karrite cargo box looks like the part # TH14936 then this would work well for you. This hinge was used in a ton of older Thule cargo boxes including the Karrite models. While I am unable to look up your specific box due to it's age I can tell you that if this looks just like what your box has this would be the correct replacement part.
