  • Since you have a spoiler on your 2007 Ion I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike Carrier # HRF2. This bike rack is designed for vehicles with spoilers.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 3 Adult Bikes On a 2001 Saturn Ion
  • You are correct the instructions for the Rola TX-103 3 Bike Carrier 59403 see link, state that the bikes should not exceed 80 lbs.

  • How to Route Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Harness Part # RM-154 in a 2007 Saturn Ion
  • The Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Harness Part # RM-154 requires that you locate holes through which you can pass the 4-pole RV connector wiring.

The tail light wiring may also provide an access point; you can try removing the driver-side taillight assembly to see if there is a grommet you can use. Once routed to the underside of the...

  • I am not sure what you mean by "mid" but the only 2004 Saturn Ion that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you do have a manual transmission then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below. For a base plate kit I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9518151...
