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...

Will the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan
Yes, Thule does list the OutWay 2, # TH45JV, as a fit for your 2004 Chrysler Sebring sedan. I had a chance to use the OutWay series of racks and they are probably the easiest racks to put on/take off. What makes it so easy is because it uses retractable cables instead of straps to secure to the vehicle. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, in order to hold the bikes more level. I have included links...

Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Needed for a 2009 Chrysler Sebring

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...

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...

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.

Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Hard Top Convertible

Which Trailer Hitch Pin Lock Will Fit a Thule Roadway Bike Rack
Many companies, like Thule, use their own in-house design for parts and accessories. The only locking hitch pin/anti-rattle device that will work on Thule Roadway Bike Racks, like TH912XT, TH914XT, or TH915XT, would be the Thule brand. The bike racks have a uniquely threaded hitch pin hole that matches the design of the lock. You would need Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # THSTL2. I have included a link to a video review of this lock for reference.

Tow Bar Lighting for Vehicle on Tow Dolly Plus Easily Transferable Brake Controller

How to Pick Up Base Plates, Tow Bars and Other Parts to Flat Tow a 2002 Chrysler Sebring
Base plates and tow bars are sold separately since the base plates are vehicle specific and the tow bars are not. The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if the Sebring can be flat towed and if so if there are any special requirements. I have included a link to the base plate main page for your Sebring. There are different base plates for different versions of the car. Once you have determined which base plates will fit you can then...

No Trailer Running Lights On Trailer But Stop/Turn Signals Works
It sounds like you are having issues with your running lights which are actually on a separate circuit than the stop/turn lights. The first thing you will want to do is test the running light pin on the vehicle side trailer connector. If you don't get power here then you may have a blown fuse or shorted wire. If you do have power then apply power to the running light pin on the trailer side trailer connector. If the lights do not work then you most likely have a short in the running light...
