Expert Answers about Nissan Sentra


  • Recommended Support Strap for a Cargo Carrier
  • We do have the support strap you need for a cargo carrier, and it definitely isn't 20 feet long. I recommend the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050. This strap is 61" long in total; I have added a link to a video review as well, and if you go to about the 2:00 mark you can see the strap being used on a cargo carrier.

  • Are 2 or 4 Tire Chains Needed and is there a Speed Rating when Using Chains on a 2004 Nissan Sentra
  • When using tire chains they would need to go on the main drive wheels. On a front wheel drive car they go on the front wheels and there would not be much additional benefit to put them on the rear wheels. But on a rear wheel drive vehicle they would go on the back wheels and having some on the front wheels would help with braking and steering. But for your 2004 Nissan Sentra the front tires are where you will put the chains. Different chains have different speed ratings, and there are...

  • Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount 2 bike rack # TH910XT Fit 2012 Nissan Sentra with Spoiler
  • The Thule Passage Trunk Mount 2 Bike Rack # TH910XT will fit your 2012 Nissan Sentra with the factory spoiler. I have included a review video for this product and as well as installation instructions. Another plus for this bike rack are the cushioned anti-sway cradles that prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact and include rubber straps to secure bikes in place. If you intend to carry womens or childrens bikes that do not come equipped with a horizontal bar, I recommend the Thule...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Sentra
  • For your 2018 Nissan Sentra the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack ROC25 part number # RR37QR which is a confirmed fit. I like this rack as the bars are flush mounted bars which means they do not stick out past the feet of the rack and the crossbars are aerodynamically shaped too which helps with reducing wind noise and fuel mileage loss. The Rhino Rack roof rack components are very high quality and easy to install too.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2015 Nissan Sentra
  • The Thule OutWay # TH65JV is an excellent choice. It is by far the easiest to mount trunk mount bike rack I have used. They are the easiest and quickest installation of any trunk mount bike rack I have seen because they use retractable cables instead of straps. The mounting cables are lockable, and the rack includes an integrated cable lock to deter theft. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is...

  • Can Trunk of 2008 Nissan Sentra Be Accessed w/ Hollywood Racks # HRG2 Gordo Bike Rack Installed
  • I usually don't recommend opening a rear hatch with a trunk mount bike rack attached. The rack adds additional weight to the hatch lid that it's opening/lifting mechanism might not be rated for. This could cause the hatch lid to close unexpectedly, causing injury. The trunk lid on your Sentra isn't very heavy, nor is the rack. If you're careful about keeping an eye on the lid while you're accessing the trunk, you should be just fine. I'm not entirely sure which lock you're speaking of....

  • Ball Mount Will Not Fit Into Draw-Tite Class I Hitch, # 24794, On Nissan Sentra
  • It sounds like the ball mount you have might be a Class II ball mount. The 1-1/4 inch size receivers come in two classes, Class I which is rated for 2,000 lbs. towing and 200 lb. tongue weight and Class II which is rated for 3,500 lbs. towing and 350 lbs. tongue weight. To keep a user from overloading a Class I hitch, Class II hitch accessories, such as ball mounts and several bike racks and cargo carriers, are designed to not fit. Manufacturers accomplish this by placing a stopper in...

  • 4-Layer Deluxe Car Cover for a 2002 Nissan Sentra
  • The 4-Layer Deluxe Car Cover for Compact Cars by Classic Accessories, part # 052963710021, is designed specifically for compact cars. It is not matched specifically to vehicles, however, the Nissan Sentra would be classified as a compact car, so it should fit without any problems.

  • For the most user-friendly and high-quality trunk mount bike rack that will also fit the 2005 Nissan Sentra, I recommend the Thule Raceway, # TH45JV. I actually own the 3 bike version of this rack and it is the easiest and quickest to install trunk mount rack I have used. This rack is the easiest to install. The OutWay uses only 2 rubber straps instead of 6 straps like other racks. It also includes locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. If you will be carrying women's,...

This is a fork-mount bike carrier and has a weight capacity of 33-lbs.

  • Will the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24794 Fit a 2018 Nissan Sentra
  • We do have a trailer hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Nissan Sentra but the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24794 only fits Nissan Sentra models from 2007-2012. For your 2018 you need the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24907 instead. You will also need wiring # 118582, a draw bar like part # 3593, and a hitch ball like 1-7/8" part # 19256 or 2" part # 19258. Be sure to follow any instructions in your owner's manual regarding towing with your vehicle.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2014 Nissan Sentra
  • I am not certain what trailer hitch you have on your 2014 Nissan Sentra but the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100 you referenced will only fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. This is an issue because the only hitches available for a '14 Sentra are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. It is likely you actually have a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the Draw-Tite # 24907 and I strongly recommend making sure you know the exact hitch on your Sentra. For a Class I hitch you...

This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and is a complete bolt-on installation, which is great for your car because it does not require any drilling to install. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 118582. The correct ball mount for this trailer hitch is the Curt # C45521 which requires Pin...

  • Recommended Roof Rack Bike Carrier for Wider Bike Tires
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Rhino Rack # RRRBC050 does not have a way to carry tires wider than 2.7". If you' need a roof top carrier for a wider tire bike then I recommend using the Yakima Highroad # Y02114 since it can handle tires up to 4" wide. Roof top bike carriers are typically designed for smaller sized bike tires, but the Highroad does allow for carrying some wider size tires. I've linked a short review video we did of this carrier for you to check out.
